New data set release: High Mountain Asia 1 km MODIS-AIRS Gap-Filled Ground Temperatures and Permafrost Probability Maps, 2003-2016, Version 1

High Mountain Asia 1 km MODIS-AIRS Gap-Filled Ground Temperatures and Permafrost Probability Maps, 2003-2016, Version 1 is now available at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC). 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.
