Products and Datasets

Modern Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA-2) is a NASA atmospheric reanalysis that provides data beginning in 1980. MERRA-2 provides atmospheric data that are used as input to the radiative transfer model used to determine surface temperature.

Data from Goddard Earth Observing System Model, Version 5, Forward Processing (GEOS-5 FP-IT) are used in the surface temperature algorithm for Landsat 7 data starting in 2000 as well as Landsat 8-9 data for Global products. The files are one file per 3-hour period containing one-time observation (8 files per day).

ASTER is an instrument on the Terra satellite. ASTER Global Emissivity Dataset (GED) is a global, 90-meter spatial resolution emissivity map of the Earth’s non-frozen land surfaces at different wavelengths in the thermal infrared spectrum. ASTER GED bands 13, 14, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) are used in the surface temperature algorithm for Landsat 4-9 data.

The Land Change Monitoring, Assessment and Projection (LCMAP) project has generated an integrated suite of annual land cover and land surface change products for the United States based on time series data from the Landsat record from 1985–2019. LCMAP Collection v1.1 Science Products are based on the USGS implementation of the Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) algorithm.

The Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (eVIIRS) collection is based on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) data acquired by the NPP, which is the result of a partnership between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and...
