ELITE SLWR: global 1km daily SLDR at SIN Grid (2010_182-243)

The Essential thermal Infrared remoTe sEnsing (ELITE) product suite currently has four types of products, including land surface temperature (LST: clear-sky and all-sky), emissivity (NBE: narrowband emissivity; BBE: broadband emissivity; and spectral emissivity), the component of surface radiation and energy budget (SLUR: surface longwave upwelling radiation; SLDR: surface longwave downward radiation SLDR; SLNR: surface longwave net radiation), and the component of Earth’s radiation budget (OLR; outgoing longwave radiation; RSR: reflected solar radiation). The spatial-temporal resolutions of the ELITE products are mainly determined by the employed satellite data sources. For more information about ELITE products, please refer to the website (https://elite.bnu.edu.cn).

This dataset is ELITE daily surface longwave downward radiation (SLDR) product at 1km spatial resolution. It is provided on a Sinusoidal grid and ranges from 2000 to 2022 (continuously updated). This dataset was generated from the ELITE surface longwave downward radiation (SLDR) product using the algorithms developed by Zeng et al. (2021).

This is the ELITE Daily SLDR product in 2010 (DOY: 182-243). Please click here to download the ELITE Daily SLDR product in 2010 (DOY: 244-304).
