MOD16A2: MODIS Global Terrestrial Evapotranspiration 8-Day Global 1km (MODIS/NTSG/MOD16A2/105)
Version V105
The MOD16A2 V105 product provides information about
8-day global terrestrial evapotranspiration at 1km pixel resolution.
Evapotranspiration (ET) is the sum of evaporation and plant transpiration
from the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere. With long-term ET
data, the effects of changes in climate, land use, and ecosystems
disturbances can be quantified.
The MOD16A2 product is produced by the Numerical Terradynamic Simulation
Group NTSG,
University of Montana (UMT) in conjunction with NASA Earth Observing
System. For more details about the algorithm used see the algorithm
theoretical basis document.
