VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite)
VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) is a sophisticated satellite instrument used for Earth observation. It captures detailed images and data of the planet’s surface, atmosphere, and oceans across visible, infrared, and other light wavelengths. This allows for monitoring weather patterns, natural disasters like wildfires and storms, ocean health, and land changes. VIIRS provides high-resolution, reliable information crucial for climate studies, weather forecasting, environmental management, and disaster response. Its advanced sensors enable continuous, global observation, helping scientists and decision-makers better understand and respond to our planet’s dynamic systems.
