MODIS/Aqua Land Surface Temperature/Emissivity Monthly L3 Global 6km SIN Grid V006

The MYD11B3 Version 6 data product was decommissioned on July 31, 2023. Users are encouraged to use the MYD11B3 Version 6.1 data product. The MYD11B3 Version 6 product provides average monthly per pixel Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (LST&E) in a 1,200 by 1,200 kilometer (km) tile with a pixel size of 5,600 meters (m).

Each LST&E pixel value in the MYD11B3 is a simple average of all the corresponding values from the MYD11B1 collected during the month period. Each MYD11B3 granule consists of 19 layers including daytime and nighttime layers for LSTs, quality control assessments, observation times, view zenith angles, and number of clear sky observations along with percentage of land in the tile and emissivities from bands 20, 22, 23, 29, 31, and 32.
