MODIS Daily CMG Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (MYD21C1) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 61, modified on 09/23/2019. Product Identifier: MYD21C1 Description: The new MODIS Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (LST&E) product (MYD21) available in Collection 6 uses a physics-based algorithm to dynamically retrieve both the LST and Emissivity simultaneously for the three MODIS thermal infrared bands (29, 31 and 32) at a spatial resolution of 1 km at nadir. The MOD21 product address the documented cold bias of 3-5 K in the MOD11 heritage split-window products. The MOD21 algorithm is based on the ASTER Temperature Emissivity Separation (TES) algorithm, which uses full radiative transfer simulations for the atmospheric correction, and an emissivity model based on the variability in the surface radiance data to dynamically retrieve both LST and spectral emissivity. The TES algorithm is combined with an improved Water Vapor Scaling (WVS) atmospheric correction scheme to stabilize the retrieval during very warm and humid conditions. Simulations and validation results available in the ATBD have shown consistent accuracies at the 1 K level over all land surface types including vegetation, water, and deserts. The daily Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) global LST&E product is an HDF-EOS Grid Data file that provides LST and emissivity values at 0.05° latitude/longitude equal-angle grids.
