A Multilayer Surface Temperature, Surface Albedo, and Water Vapor Product of Greenland from MODIS
A multilayer, daily ice surface temperature (IST)–albedo–water vapor product of Greenland, extending from March 2000 through December 2016, has been developed using standard MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data products from the Terra satellite. To meet the needs of the ice she...
