Combined ASTER and MODIS Emissivity database over Land (CAMEL) Uncertainty Monthly Global 0.05Deg V001

The CAM5K30UC.001 dataset was decommissioned as of March 14, 2019. Users are encouraged to use the new improved CAM5K30UC.003 dataset. The NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Combined ASTER and MODIS Emissivity for Land (CAMEL) dataset provides monthly emissivity uncertainty at 0.05 degree (~5 kilometer) resolution (CAM5K30UC). CAM5K30UC is an estimation of total emissivity uncertainty, comprising 3 independent components of variability: temporal, spatial, and algorithm. Each measure of uncertainty is provided for all 13 hinge points of emissivity and each latitude-longitude point. Additional details regarding the methodology are available in the User Guide and Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD). Corresponding emissivity values can be found in the CAM5K30EM data product. Provided in the CAM5K30UC product are variables for algorithm uncertainty, spatial uncertainty, temporal uncertainty, total uncertainty, latitude, longitude, spectral wavelength, CAMEL quality, and total uncertainty quality information.
