EUSTACE/GlobTemperature: Global clear-sky land surface temperature from MODIS Aqua on the satellite swath with estimates of uncertainty components, v2.1, 2002-2016

This dataset consists of Land Surface Temperature (LST) data with uncertainty estimates, from the MODIS instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite. It forms part of the collection of datasets from the EUSTACE (EU Surface Temperature for All Corners of Earth) project, which is producing publicly available daily estimates of surface air temperature since 1850 across the globe for the first time by combining surface and satellite data using novel statistical techniques.

The Level 2 Land Surface Temperature data in this dataset has been retrieved from MODIS Collection 6 L1B calibrated radiances, in the context of the GlobTemperature project, but new uncertainty estimates have been added as part of the EUSTACE project. This version of the LST dataset is v2.1 of the GT_MYG_2P product, with earlier versions produced under the GlobTemperature project. It consists of a complete set of LST and accompanying auxiliary (AUX) datafiles for the MODIS-Aqua mission for the period from 2002 until 2016. An equivalent dataset is also available for MODIS-Terra.

Statement: Datahave been provided and archived for the EU EUSTACE project, which has received funding by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under grant agreement no 640171.

This Land Surface Temperature data was originally derived in the context of the ESA DUE GlobTemperature project, but new uncertainty estimates have been added in the context of EUSTACE project. The MODIS data was acquired from the NASA Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC).
