The output is remapped into 1-km EASE2 grid cells with a nominal resolution of at least 5-km. The NDE cloud mask is used to screen out cloudy VIIRS pixels. When the cloud mask for a data point is determined to be confidently clear, the output concentration in the blended product is 100% VIIRS. Otherwise, the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator equation is used to determine the output concentration (see https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/mathematics/linear-unbiased-estimator#:~:text=Under%20assumptions%20V%20and%20VI,(Gauss%E2%80%93Markov%20theorem for more information on method).";

Using griddap to Request Data and Graphs from Gridded Datasets

griddap lets you request a data subset, graph, or map from a gridded dataset (for example, sea surface temperature data from a satellite), via a specially formed URL. griddap uses the OPeNDAP (external link) Data Access Protocol (DAP) (external link) and its projection constraints (external link).

The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.

griddap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/jplMURSST41.htmlTable?analysed_sst[(2002-06-01T09:00:00Z)][(-89.99):1000:(89.99)][(-179.99):1000:(180.0)]
Thus, the query is often a data variable name (e.g., analysed_sst), followed by [(start):stride:(stop)] (or a shorter variation of that) for each of the variable's dimensions (for example, [time][latitude][longitude]).

For details, see the griddap Documentation.
