Combined ASTER and MODIS Emissivity database over Land (CAMEL) Broadband Emissivity 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 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).

Provided in the CAM5K30BBECLIM product are variables for the CAMEL broadband emissivity climatology, the number of samples used to calculate climatology, snow fraction derived from MODIS (MOD10), latitude, longitude, and the CAMEL quality flag.
