ELITE surface lognwave upwelling radiation: global 1km Swath 5-min SLUR - Aqua (2010.04-06)

The Essential thermaL Infrared remoTe sEnsing (ELITE) 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 1km instantaneous SLUR product ranging from 2000 to 2022 (continuously updated). This dataset was generated from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS, Terra and Aqua) data using the algorithm developed by  Cheng et al. (2016). 

This is the ELITE SLUR (Aqua) product in 2010.04-2010.06. Please click here to download the ELITE SLUR (Aqua) product in 2010.01-2010.03 and click here to download the ELITE SLUR Aqua) product in 2010.07-2010.09.
