Global daytime LST from the LEOLSTCMG30 product during December 2020.
View full-size imageThe NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) LEOLSTCMG30 version 1 Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) product provides Land Surface Temperature (LST) derived from the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite data record from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instruments as well as LST error estimates for both day and night. The product will include global LST produced on CMG at monthly timesteps from 2002 to present. The MEaSUREs LEOLST product is generated by regridding the monthly LST CMG products from MODIS (MYD21C3.061) and VIIRS (VNP21C3.002).
The product will be available on 0.25, 0.5, and 1 degree optimized climate grids with well characterized per-pixel uncertainties. A low-resolution browse is also available showing LST as an RGB (red, green, blue) image in PNG format.
