As of October 15, 2019, NCEI has ceased production of the following Earth Observation Group (EOG) products:
- VIIRS derived products and services
- Global Nighttime Lights: annual and monthly composites using VIIRS Day/Night Band
- VIIRS Nightfire - Nighttime detection and characterization of combustion sources
- VIIRS Gas flaring - Annual global and regional estimates of flared gas volumes
- VIIRS Boat Detection - Nighttime detection of lights from fishing vessels
These products, based on VIIRS observations, are now publicly available through the academic sector at the Colorado School of Mines, a public university in Golden, Colorado. Ongoing data will be available through the university's Payne Institute for Public Policy.
The DMSP and VIIRS orbital swath data remain archived at NCEI and in NOAA’s CLASS archive respectively. For more information on these data contact ncei.info@noaa.gov.
