Combined ASTER and MODIS Emissivity database over Land (CAMEL) Uncertainty Climatology Monthly Global 0.05Deg V003

The NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Combined Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Emissivity for Land (CAMEL) dataset provides monthly emissivity uncertainty at 0.05 degree (~5 kilometer) resolution (CAM5K30UC). CAM5K30UC is an estimation of total emissivity uncertainty, comprising 3 independent components of variability: temporal, spatial, and algorithm. Each measure of uncertainty is provided for all 13 hinge points of emissivity and each latitude-longitude point. Additional details regarding the methodology are available in the User Guide and Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). Corresponding emissivity values can be found in the CAM5K30EM data product. Provided in the CAM5K30UC product are layers for algorithm uncertainty, spatial uncertainty, temporal uncertainty, total uncertainty, latitude, longitude, spectral wavelength, CAMEL quality, and total uncertainty quality information.

The NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Combined Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Emissivity for Land (CAMEL) data suite has been expanded to include a monthly global emissivity climatology product (CAM5K30EMCLIM). This 0.05 degree (~5 kilometer) resolution product represents the mean emissivity from 2003 through 2021 (19 years). Additional details regarding the methodology are available in the User Guide and Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). Variables provided in the CAM5K30EMCLIM product include latitude, longitude, wavelength, number of samples used to calculate climatology, CAMEL quality flag, snow fraction derived from MODIS (MOD10), and CAMEL Emissivity.

The NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Combined Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Emissivity for Land (CAMEL) data suite has been expanded to include a monthly global covariances climatology product (CAM5K30COVCLIM). The product is provided at 0.25 degree (~25 kilometer) resolution. The CAMEL covariance product includes the mean and variance of the covariance matrixes created for each month from 2003 through 2021 (19 years) on a 0.25 x 0.25 degree grid of 416 spectral points from the V003 CAMEL Emissivity product (CAM5K30EM). Additional details regarding the methodology are available in the User Guide and Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). Provided in the CAM5K30COVCLIM product are variables for the mean and variance of the emissivity, latitude, longitude, spectral frequencies, and number of observations.

The NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Combined Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Emissivity for Land (CAMEL) data suite has been expanded to include a monthly global coefficient climatology product (CAM5K30CFCLIM). The product is provided at 0.05 degree (~5 kilometer) resolution. The CAMEL Principal Components Analysis (PCA) input coefficients utilized in the CAMEL high spectral resolution (HSR) algorithm are provided in the CAM5K30CFCLIM data product. This HSR algorithm is accessible in both MATLAB and FORTRAN programming languages, and it corresponds with the temporally equivalent CAM5K30EMCLIM emissivity data product. The HSR emissivity spectra for the same month each year and each unique combination of lab dataset version and number of Principal Components (PC)s are first computed independently and then combined via a weighted average. The weighted average over 2003 through 2021 (19 years) defines the weights by the number of samples from each unique combination. Additional details regarding the methodology are available in the User Guide and Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). Provided in the CAM5K30CFCLIM product are variables for PCA coefficients, the weights and sample numbers of the climatology coefficients used in the average calculation, sets of the number of PCA coefficients, laboratory version numbers, latitude, longitude, and land flag information. PCA coefficients depend on the lab PC data version and the number of PCs used.

The NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Combined Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Emissivity for Land (CAMEL) dataset provides a broadband emissivity climatology product at 0.05 degree (~5 kilometer) resolution (CAM5K30BBECLIM) for each month of the calendar year. The CAM5K30BBECLIM data product was derived from the Version 3 CAMEL Emissivity product (CAM5K30EM) on the same 0.05 degree spatial resolution and represents the mean broadband emissivity over the years 2003 through 2021 (19 years). Additional details regarding the methodology are available in the User Guide and Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD).
