  Title:

derived MODIS ET in 0.5x0.5

  Source_file:

This product is generated from monthly MODIS ET in 0.5x0.5 observations

  Conventions:

Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

  Creation_date:

  Approach:

I used gdal tool to convert the original tif file to netcdf file. Meanwhile I also converted the original unit to the standard one (Kg/m2/mon --> Kg/m2/s) and saved the final file in netcdf format. Derived Data Code: http://redwood.ess.uci.edu/mingquan/www/ILAMB/Download/CODES/CODES/subroutines/convert/convert-et-modis.ncl

  Temporal resolution:

monthly

  General information:

This product was derived from MODIS MOD16A2 monthly 0.5 degree CMG dataset.

  Spatial resolution:

0.5x0.5 degree
