Dataset

MOD11A1 v006 MODIS/Terra Land Surface Temperature/Emissivity Daily L3 Global 1 km SIN Grid

TemperatureGlobalNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Earthdata, United States Geological Survey (USGS)

Dataset Objective

To provide Montly Land Surface Temperature and Emmisivity values in 0.05 degrees (5,600 metres at the Equator) latitude/longitude Climate Modelling Grid.

Context

The pixel temperature value is derived from the MOD11_L2 swath product. Above 30 degrees latitude, some pixels may have multiple observations where the criteria for clear-sky are met.

What is included

A dataset of daily per-pixel Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (LST&E) with 1 kilometer spatial resolution in 1,200 by 1,200 km grid

Collection Methods

Data collected through remote sensing
