Global Agricultural Monitoring: Transitioning NPP VIIRS Observations into the USDA FAS Decision Support System

The goal of the project is to develop the capability for agricultural monitoring using VIIRS. The project will build on the experience gained in developing the NASA MODIS GLAM System (developed by USDA and NASA) and the MODIS science data stream. A major objective is to provide continuity with MODIS observations currently being used for agricultural monitoring. In the pre-launch and immediate post-launch period focus has been on:
