Description

The MYDTBGA Version 6 data product was decommissioned on July 31, 2023.

The MYDTBGA Version 6 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Level 2 Gridded Lite (L2G-lite) Thermal Band product consists of brightness temperature data from Aqua MODIS bands 20, 31, and 32 and albedo data from band 20 along with the orbit and granule pointer fields. MYDTBGA is a daily product with a pixel size of 1 kilometer (km). The MYDTBGA, as with other L2G data sets, stores the “best available pixel” from all the qualifying observations in the first layer and any subsequent observations are stored in either full or a compact layers within the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) file.
