Description
Nighttime Land Surface Temperature (LST) are derived from the ~1km MODIS MOD11A2 v6.1 products. The 8-daily composites are converted to degrees Celsius and then gap-filled using the approach outlined in Weiss et al (2014) to eliminate missing data caused by factors such as cloud cover. After gap-filling the data was clipped to thresholds of [-100, 100] to ensure valid values.
The gap-filled 8-daily ~1km outputs are then aggregated temporally to produce monthly and annual products.
