MODIS/Aqua Land Surface Temperature/Emissivity 8-Day L3 Global 6km SIN Grid V006

The MYD11B2 Version 6 data product was decommissioned on July 31, 2023. Users are encouraged to use the MYD11B2 Version 6.1 data product. The MYD11B2 Version 6 product provides an average 8-day 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 temperature and emissivity pixel value in the MYD11B2 is a simple average of all the corresponding values from the LST&E values from the MYD11B1 product collected during that 8-day period. Each MYD11B2 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.
