Thank you for the answer. Regarding the MODIS resolution at nadir is 1 km, why the resolution of MODIS products like chlorophyll-a, sst, and others are different from the sensor resolution of MODIS itself? For instance, the resolution of monthly SST Aqua MODIS level 3 is 4 km while the sensor resolu...

Thank you for the explanations. Could you please describe more detail about the terms of 'binned' based on your answer?

I mean the monthly data. Why there are still SST value while there are lots of cloud cover in the tropical area?

What do you mean by SST can provide data with some cloud cover where there will be no visible range data?

Thank you for the answer. Following your answer, how can the SST product level 3 of MODIS Terra/Aqua have a SST value while there are lots of cloud cover especially in the tropical area?
What kind of cloud-removal algorithm is applied in the SST product level 3 of MODIS Terra/Aqua?

Thank you for the references. I am looking forward for the other possible answers.

Thank you for your answer. My further question is, if MODIS Aqua provides night and daytime SST products then if we want to take daily SST, which product should we select? night or daytime? or can we just consider an average of night and daytime SST products as the daily SST?

Why does MODIS Aqua has two different SST products (SST night and daytime)? What are the scientific reasons behind it?
