#### 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.
