Collection 2 includes new and improved VIIRS S-NPP snow, sea ice, and ice surface temperature data sets, as well as the first public release of VIIRS data sets from the JPSS-1 (NOAA-20) satellite, which was launched on November 18, 2017. Collection 2 contains 13 new data sets and the following five updated data sets : VNP10A1F, VNP30, VNP 29, VNP10, and VNP10A1. These five data sets will continue to be offered with customization options. Temporal coverage spans from 19 January 2012 to present for S-NPP products and 5 January 2018 to present for JPSS-1 products. Users may experience temporal gaps, but these gaps will be filled as reprocessing continues.
