Overview
This data set consists of 1 km resolution monthly land surface temperatures (MLSTs); mean annual ground temperatures (MAGTs); and estimates of permafrost extent (PE) in the High Mountain Asia region from 1 Jan 2003 – 31 Dec 2016.
The data were generated by gap-filling daily MODIS Terra/Aqua Land surface temperatures (LSTs) with downscaled Atmospheric Infra-Red Sounder (AIRS) skin surface temperatures.
