By: LP DAAC

Version 2.2 of the Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AρρEEARS) provides access to two new NASA Surface Reflectance data products from the joint NOAA/NASA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument. These data provide surface reflectance measurements as 8-day composites at 500 meter resolution (VNP09H1) and 1 kilometer resolution (VNP09A1).

Additionally, users can now bulk download their area request outputs directly from AρρEEARS, as well as cancel their own request. Find out more about these features in the updated Help documentation.
