| Description |
The C61 MODIS Aqua Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (LST&E) data products, short-names MYD21* has been found to show a warming trend in recent years, especially since 2018, because of a significant upward trend in the Band 29 Brightness Temperature due to electronic crosstalk. This affects the entire MYD21 products suite. Efforts are underway to come up with a fix to mitigate this trend and implement the resolution as part of C61 forward processing.
