MODIS LST/Emissivity Product

Data available
MODIS Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (LST/E) products provide per-grid temperature and emissivity values.
MOD11B1 and MYD11B1 - daily level 3 LST product at 5km (V4) or 6km (V5) spatial resolution gridded in the Sinusoidal projection.
Emissivity retrieved at MODIS bands 20,22,23,29, & 31-32 (3.75,3.96,4.05,8.55,11.03,12.02 µm) also available in the daily level 3 global CMG LST products (MOD11C1 and MYD11C1) at 0.05o latitude/longitude grids.
