This dataset contain maps of monthly averages of tropical forests understory (15 cm above ground) temperature, including all the material necessary for replicating the methodology used in the calculations. Files: - Daytime temperature maps - Forest understory temperature monthly averages between 6am and 6pm. The averages were calculated using all data from 2000-2021. The file format is GeoTIFF. - Nighttime - Forest understory temperature monthly averages between 6pm and 6am. The averages were calculated using all data from 2000-2021. The file format is GeoTIFF. - Daily - Monthly averages of daily aggregated forest understory temperature at a 15 cm height above ground. The averages were calculated using all data from 2000-2021. The file format is GeoTIFF. **Notes: Units = degrees Celsius No_data = 0 (zero) Spatial resolution = 300 m Maps with 30 m resolution are available upon request. Please check the index map file for information on the available tiles. Here you will also find the Matlab codes and test data that can be used to replicate our methodology, including the location of all sensors used to calibrate and validate our model.
