Abstract
This paper presents the status of MODIS land-surface temperature (LST) standard products. The accuracy of daily MODIS LST products has been validated in eighteen clear-sky cases with in-situ measurement data collected in field campaigns in 2000 and 2001, being better than 1 K in the range from 263 K to 322 K. Techniques to remove the LSTs contaminated with cloud effects are discussed in order to make the MODIS LST products suitable for regional and global change studies.
