Terra MODIS thermal band 20 data from the MODTBGA product over the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal on August 19, 2018.
View full-size imageThe MODTBGA Version 6 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Level 2 Gridded Lite (L2G-lite) Thermal Band product consists of brightness temperature data from MODIS bands 20, 31, and 32 and albedo data from band 20 along with the orbit and granule pointer fields. MODTBGA is a daily product with a pixel size of 1 kilometer (km). The MODTBGA, as with other L2G data sets, stores the “best available pixel” from all the qualifying observations in the first layer and any subsequent observations are stored in either full or a compact layers within the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) file.
The MODTBGA data product is categorized with the Surface Reflectance products and has therefore attained stage 3 validation. Further details regarding MODIS land product validation for the Surface Reflectance data product are available from the MODIS Land Team Validation site.
