Description

The dataset contains global monthly day-time land surface temperature averaged within 1 by 1 degree grid cells. The source for the data is MODIS/Terra MOD11C3 Collection 005 product (MODIS/Terra Monthly mean land surface temperature at 0.05 degree spatial resolution). The dataset covers the time period from 2000-03-01 to 2015-06-30.
