Abstract:
The Goddard Earth Science Data and Information Service Center's (GES DISC) innovative data analysis system Giovanni is hosting an interface featuring increased spatial (1 kilometer) and temporal (8-day intervals) resolution land surface temperature data. The data interface, created to support regional investigations for the Monsoon Asia Integrated Regional Study (MAIRS), provides land surface temperature data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments onboard NASA'S Terra and Aqua earth observation satellites. Data products combining these spatial and temporal resolutions have not been available in Giovanni before, and they offer new capabilities for meteorological and climate research.
