READ ME For folder: /data/project/organisms/MODIS_LST_Oregon/ClearDayGDAL

This folder contains raster files of average daily Clear Day values as well as raw Clear Day measures that were extracted from the MODIS LST data stored inthe ../MODIS_LST_Oregon folder.

The clear day raster files are in ERDAS Imagine format and comprise two tiles in Oregon. This data is being prepared for a proof of concept application of the climate fusion process. The two Clear Day tiles contained in this dataset are h08v04 and h09v04; and the dataset contains files for 10 years of daily raw Clear Day measures, plus 870 files of average daily values - one average for each day of the year (average of 10-year values) for each h08v04 and h09v04 tiles.

Files with names similar to: MOD11A1.A2009263.h09v04.005_ClearDay.img contain the raw integer values extracted from the MODIS LST data.

Files with names simiar to: Day_1_Average_Scaled.img contain the 10-year average scaled values one file for each tile for each day of the year (numbered 1 through 366). Scaled rasters have the scale factor 0.0005 applied to the prior integer only values present in the source Clear Day and MODIS LST layers).
