The underlying dataset for this daytime product is MODIS land surface
temperature data (MOD11A2), which was gap-filled using the approach
outlined in Weiss et al. (2014) to eliminate missing data caused by factors
such as cloud cover. Gap-free outputs were then aggregated temporally and
spatially to produce the monthly ≈5km product.
This dataset was produced by Harry Gibson and Daniel Weiss of the
Malaria Atlas Project (Big Data Institute, University of Oxford,
United Kingdom, https://malariaatlas.org/).
