The Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) is pleased to announce the availability of the ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) Level 1B Version 1 data products, produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). These data products are offered at a spatial resolution of 70 meters (m) and include: resampled radiance data, at-sensor calibrated radiance data, geolocation data and spacecraft attitude information.

Attached to the International Space Station (ISS), ECOSTRESS measures the Earth's surface temperature to better understand how much water is used by plants. More information on ECOSTRESS can be found on the ECOSTRESS website.
