Improved Estimates of Monthly Land Surface Temperature from MODIS using a Diurnal Temperature Cycle (DTC) Model

Description: The data associated with the experiment to construct monthly Land Surface Temperature(LST) using a diurnal temperature cycle (Duan et al 2013, 2014, Göttsche and Olesen 2001) from MODIS observations at the 32 sites of flux towers over relatively homogenous sites globally. The methodology is summarized in the manuscript under review. The data include three files of monthly LST estimates in Celsius Degree over the land and coordinates are included in each file.
