| Abstract | Fix missing LST and emissive data at some grids in MOD11B1/MYD11B1. |
| Problem Statement | Missing LST_Day_6km or LST_Night_6km and emissive bands 20 - 29 at some grids in MOD11B1/MYD11B1, usually in the cooling season. |
| Description of Change | Make a minor change in mod11_lstB1.c to fix the above missing data problem by considering the temporal constraint at the beginning of searching for pairs of daytime and nighttime MODIS observations. |
| Products Affected | L3 LST (MOD11B1) |
| Software Affected | PGE16 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra Forward, Terra Reprocessing, Aqua Forward, Aqua Reprocessing |
| Downstream Product Effects | L3 Daily, 8-day, and Monthly CMG LST (MOD11C1, MOD11C2, MOD11C3) |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | Terra MODIS data in 2001-361 - 2001-365, 2002-001 - 2002-004, and 2002-121 - 2002-181 in tile h30v11. |
| Justification | After avoiding invalid pairs of daytime and nighttime MODIS observations, the day/night algorithm will provides more valid surface temperature and emissivity data, especially in the cooling season. |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | |
