NASA| On Board NPP - VIIRS: Enabling Future Climate Science

The video discusses the interconnectedness of Earth's systems and the role of NASA's satellites in collecting climate data. It introduces the VIIRS sensor, which will continue the work of the MODIS instrument, providing critical environmental data. VIIRS' capabilities include multi-channel imaging for monitoring natural phenomena. The data collected aids in scientific modeling and understanding climate change, emphasizing the importance of long-term data records.

What types of environmental data products will the VIIRS provide?

Discuss the role of models in understanding the interaction between Earth's systems.
