MODIS/Terra Land Surface Temperature/Emissivity 8-Day L3 Global 0.05Deg CMG V006
Listed in NASA Data Portal
Description
The MOD11C2 Version 6 data product was decommissioned on July 31, 2023. Users are encouraged to use the MOD11C2 Version 6.1 data product. The MOD11C2 Version 6 product provides Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (LST&E) values in a 0.05 degree (5,600 meters at the equator) latitude/longitude Climate Modeling Grid (CMG).
A CMG granule follows a geographic grid with 7,200 columns and 3,600 rows, representing the entire globe. The LST&E values in the MOD11C2 product are derived by compositing and averaging the values from the corresponding eight MOD11C1 daily files. The MOD11C2 granule consists of 17 layers.

Each MOD11C2 product consists of the following layers for daytime and nighttime observations: LSTs, quality control assessments, observation times, view zenith angles, and number of clear-sky observations along with percentage of land in the grid and emissivities from bands 20, 22, 23, 29, 31, and 32.
Known Issues
* Production of V6 Terra MODIS Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (LST&E) data products was discontinued on November 16, 2022, due to significant loss of data retrieval following the Constellation Exit Maneuvers.
