Description

The ECOSTRESS Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity (ECO_L2T_LSTE) V002 dataset provides Land Surface Temperature (LST), LST error, Quality Control flags, Broadband Emissivity, cloud mask, surface height, water mask, and view zenith angle data at a 70m spatial resolution. This product is derived from ECOSTRESS observations and is essential for understanding surface energy balance and water stress.

NOTE: Currently, only tiles covering the Los Angeles metro area have been ingested into Earth Engine. We plan to expand coverage in the future.
