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) data suite has been expanded to include a monthly global uncertainty climatology product (CAM5K30UCCLIM). The product is provided at 0.05 degree (~5 kilometer) resolution. The 13 hinge-point uncertainty climatology is computed by taking an average over each available month from 2003 through 2021 (19 years) and includes three independent components of variability: temporal, spatial, and algorithm. Each measure of uncertainty climatology 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 CAM5K30EMCLIM data product.

Provided in the CAM5K30UCCLIM product are variables for algorithm uncertainty, spatial uncertainty, temporal uncertainty, total uncertainty, latitude, longitude, spectral wavelength, and total uncertainty quality flag information.
