Dear user,

You can find MOD16A2 data here:
https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/searc ... A2&ac=true

You can find MYD16A2 data here:
https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/searc ... A2&ac=true

I don't understand what you mean with: "But the range of this data is from -32767 to 32700. what does to obtain the actual value?"
Please, elaborate and let us know if you need anything further.

Thank you,

Numbers such as -32767 and 32700 in a data file are frequently indicative of missing data for that pixel.

Dear user,

Please look at the Product page description:
https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/mod16a2v006/
The "Layers" section state that "Users are asked to disregard the class assignments for Fill Values 32761 through 32767 irrespective of the assigned quality for these pixels. Class assignments may be incorrect and users are advised to exercise caution while using the product in their application. See known issue PM_MOD16_18074 for further information."

Thank you,
