Author's Note: 2/14/2024 The MODIS Version 6 dataset has since been decommissioned. Users are now encourage to use the MODIS Version 6.1 dataset: https://doi.org/10.5067/MODIS/MYD16A2.061
The MODIS Aqua Net Evapotranspiration 8-Day L4 Global 500 m SIN Grid (MYD16A2) Version 6 data set has been reprocessed to correct systematic errors that occurred when the data were initially released for years 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.The data product provides global coverage of Evapotranspiration, Latent Heat Flux, Potential Evapotranspiration, and Potential Latent Heat Flux along with a quality control layer at 500 meter pixel resolution.
