Summary
Abstract: Land Surface Temperature (LST) is a key indicator of land surface states, and can provide information on surface-atmosphere heat and mass fluxes, vegetation water stress, and soil moisture. A daily, day and night, LST data set for continental Africa, including Madagascar, was derived from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Global Area Coverage (GAC; 4 km resolution) data for the ...

Use Constraints If you wish to use this data set as a mask for LGM simulations, please cite
Prentice et al. (1993) as the source. Please note, there is new data which
suggests that the extent of these lakes may have been somewhat smaller than
implied by the information given in Kvasov (1975a, 1975b). A new data set is
currently being prepared and will be included on this website in the near
future.
