MOD11A2 Eight-day LST

An eight-day compositing period was chosen because twice of such period is the exact ground track repeat period of the Terra platform. LST over eight days is the averaged LSTs of the MOD11A1 product over eight days. 

Algorithm Description

A simple average method is used in the current algorithm for the MOD11A2 product. 

Scientific Data Sets

In the V3 MOD11A2 product, the SDSs are similar to those in the MOD11A1 product described in Table 9.  In the V4 MOD11A2 product, the 12 SDSs are LST_Day_1km, QC_Day, Day_view_time, Day_view_angl, LST_Night_1km, QC_Night, Night_view_time, Night_view_angl, Emis_31, Emis_32, Clear_sky_days and Clear_sky_nights. The first ten SDSs are similar to those in the MOD11A1 product described in Table 9.  The last two SDSs, Clear_sky_days and Clear_sky_nights, are similar to those in the 8-day CMG product described in Table 18
