Reprocessing of Terra MODIS V6.1 LST&E Data Products for October 23 through November 21, 2022

Terra MODIS Version 6.1 Land Surface Temperature and 3-Band Emissivity (LST&E) data products for the period of October 23 (DOY 2022-296) through November 21, 2022 (DOY 2022-325 included) will be reprocessed. This reprocessing will address the Level-1B cross-talk change that was noticed in Terra long-wave infrared (LWIR) photovoltaic (PV) bands 27-30, following the Constellation Exit Maneuvers on October 12 and October 19, 2022. Terra MODIS land surface temperature for this period may show differences of up to 0.5-1 degree Kelvin, mainly over the vegetated areas. Users are requested to take note of this and start using the reprocessed versions of these products for any future studies.
