Description
The underlying dataset for this daytime product is MODIS land surface temperature data (MOD11A2), which was gap-filled using the approach outlined in Weiss et al. (2014) to eliminate missing data caused by factors such as cloud cover. Gap-free outputs were then aggregated temporally and spatially to produce the monthly ≈5km product.
This dataset was produced by Harry Gibson and Daniel Weiss of the Malaria Atlas Project (Big Data Institute, University of Oxford, United Kingdom, https://malariaatlas.org/).

Mean |
°C | -74.03* | 63.87* | The mean value of daytime land surface temperature for each aggregated pixel. |
FilledProportion |
% | 0* | 100* | A quality control band that indicates the percentage of each resulting pixel that was comprised of raw data (as opposed to gap-filled estimates). |
