Il set di dati MOD21A1N viene prodotto quotidianamente a partire dai prodotti LST intermedi di livello 2 grigliati (L2G)
a una risoluzione spaziale di 1000 metri. La procedura L2G
mappa i granuli giornalieri delle strisciate MOD21 su una griglia sinusoidale MODIS e
memorizza tutte le osservazioni che rientrano in una cella della griglia per un determinato giorno. L'algoritmo
MOD21A1 esamina queste osservazioni per ogni cella e
stima il valore LST finale come media di tutte le osservazioni che
non presentano nuvole e hanno una buona precisione LST&E. La media notturna è ponderata
in base alla copertura delle osservazioni per quella cella. Vengono prese in considerazione solo le osservazioni con una copertura superiore a una soglia del 15%. Il prodotto
MOD21A1N contiene la LST calcolata, nonché il controllo qualità, le
tre bande di emissività, l'angolo zenitale di visualizzazione e l'ora di osservazione.

The L2G\nprocess maps the daily MOD21 swath granules onto a sinusoidal MODIS grid and\nstores all observations falling over a gridded cell for a given day. The\nMOD21A1 algorithm sorts through these observations for each cell and\nestimates the final LST value as an average from all observations that are\ncloud free and have good LST\\&E accuracies. The nighttime average is weighted\nby the observation coverage for that cell. Only observations having an\nobservation coverage greater than a 15% threshold are considered. The\nMOD21A1N product contains the calculated LST as well as quality control, the\nthree emissivity bands, view zenith angle, and time of observation.\n\nDocumentation:\n\n- [User's Guide](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/1398/MOD21_User_Guide_V61.pdf)\n\n- [Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD)](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/1399/MOD21_ATBD.pdf)\n\n- [General Documentation](https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/filespec/MODIS/61/MOD21A1N)\n\nBands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n1000 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Units | Min | Max | Pixel Size | Description |\n|--------------|-------|------|-------|------------|---------------------------|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| `LST_1KM` | K | 7500 | 65535 | meters | Land Surface Temperature |\n| `QC` | | | | meters | Quality Control |\n| Bitmask for QC - Bits 0-1: Mandatory QA flags - 0: Pixel produced, good quality, no further QA info necessary - 1: Pixel produced, nominal quality. - 2: Pixel not produced due to cloud - 3: Pixel not produced due to reasons other than cloud - Bits 2-3: Data quality flag - 0: Good data quality of L1B bands 29, 31, 32 - 1: Missing pixel - 2: Fairly calibrated - 3: Poorly calibrated, TES processing skipped - Bits 4-5: Cloud Flag - 0: Cloud free - 1: Thin cirrus - 2: Pixel within 2 pixels of nearest cloud - 3: Cloudy pixel - Bits 6-7: TES Iterations - 0: =7 (Slow convergence) - 1: 6 (Nominal) - 2: 5 (Nominal) - 3: \\\u003c5 (Fast) - Bits 8-9: Atmospheric Opacity - 0: =3 (Warm, humid air; or cold land) - 1: 0.2 - 0.3 (Nominal value) - 2: 0.1 - 0.2 (Nominal value) - 3: \\\u003c0.1 (Dry, or high altitude pixel) - Bits 10-11: Min-Max Difference(MMD).
