ELITE emissivity: global sea 0.1° CMG daily BBE (1980-2022)

The <strong>E</strong>ssential therma<strong>L</strong> <strong>I</strong>nfrared remo<strong>T</strong>e s<strong>E</strong>nsing (<strong>ELITE</strong>) 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 the ELITE global sea BBE product at 0.1° spatial resolution and daily (at 13:00 UTC) temporal resolution. It is provided on a climate modeling grid (CMG) and ranges from 1981 to 2022 (continuously updated). This dataset was generated from the MERRA2 reanalysis wind speed data using the look-up-table method developed by Cheng et al. (2017). <strong>Dataset Characteristics:</strong> Spatial Coverage: Global Temporal Coverage: 1980-2022 Spatial Resolution: 0.1° Temporal Resolution: daily Data Format: HDF Scale: 0.0001 <strong>Citation </strong>(Please cite these papers when using the data)<strong>:</strong> Cheng, J., Cheng, X., Liang, S., Niclòs, R., Nie, A., &amp; Liu, Q.
