#### Description

Nighttime Land Surface Temperature (LST) are derived from the \~1km MODIS [MOD11A2 v6.1](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/mod11a2v061/) products.
The 8-daily composites are converted to degrees Celsius and then gap-filled using the approach outlined in [Weiss et al (2014)](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2014.10.001)
to eliminate missing data caused by factors such as cloud cover.
After gap-filling the data was clipped to thresholds of \[-100, 100\] to ensure valid values.

The gap-filled 8-daily \~1km outputs are then aggregated temporally to produce monthly and annual products.
