The algorithm used for the MOD16 data product collection is\nbased on the logic of the Penman-Monteith equation, which includes inputs of\ndaily meteorological reanalysis data along with MODIS remotely sensed data\nproducts such as vegetation property dynamics, albedo, and land cover.\n\nThe pixel values for the two Evapotranspiration layers (ET and PET) are the\nsum of all eight days within the composite period, and the pixel values for\nthe two Latent Heat layers (LE and PLE) are the average of all eight days\nwithin the composite period. The last acquisition period of each year is a\n5 or 6-day composite period, depending on the year.\n\nDocumentation:\n\n- [User's Guide](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/931/MOD16_User_Guide_V61.pdf)\n\n- [Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD)](https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/93/MOD16_ATBD.pdf)\n\n- [General Documentation](https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/filespec/MODIS/6/MOD16A2GF)\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n500 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Units | Min | Max | Scale | Pixel Size | Description |\n|---------|--------------|--------|-------|-------|------------|------------------------------------------|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| `ET` | kg/m\\^2/8day | -32767 | 32700 | 0.1 | meters | Total evapotranspiration |\n| `LE` | J/m\\^2/day | -32767 | 32700 | 10000 | meters | Average latent heat flux |\n| `PET` | kg/m\\^2/8day | -32767 | 32700 | 0.1 | meters | Total potential evapotranspiration |\n| `PLE` | J/m\\^2/day | -32767 | 32700 | 10000 | meters | Average potential latent heat flux |\n| `ET_QC` | | | | | meters | Evapotranspiration quality control flags |\n| Bitmask for ET_QC - Bit 0: MODLAND_QC bits - 0: Good quality (main algorithm with or without saturation) - 1: Other quality (back-up algorithm or fill values) - Bit 1: Sensor - 0: Terra - 1: Aqua - Bit 2: Dead detector - 0: Detectors apparently fine for up to 50% of channels 1, 2 - 1: Dead detectors caused \\\u003e50% adjacent detector retrieval - Bits 3-4: Cloud state - 0: Significant clouds NOT present (clear) - 1: Significant clouds WERE present - 2: Mixed cloud present on pixel - 3: Cloud state not defined, assumed clear - Bits 5-7: SCF_QC 5-level confidence quality score - 0: Main (RT) method used, best result possible (no saturation) - 1: Main (RT) method used with saturation.
