Hi everyone,

I am downloading ECOSTRESS data through R following roughly this procedure: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/appeears/vignettes/appeears_vignette.html (appeears package).

This is my reference data frame:
task subtask start end product layer
1 polygon subtask 2024-08-01 2024-09-16 ECO2LSTE.001 SDS_LST
2 polygon subtask 2024-08-01 2024-09-16 ECO2LSTE.001 SDS_LST_err
3 polygon subtask 2024-08-01 2024-09-16 ECO2LSTE.001 SDS_QC
4 polygon subtask 2024-08-01 2024-09-16 ECO2CLD.001 SDS_CloudMask

These layers are downloaded locally for specific AOI. Nonetheless, frequently I ended up with the following outputs (I report only .tif files):
.../ECO2CLD.001_SDS_CloudMask_doy2024224083616_aid0001.tif

As you can see, in the time range specified, there are 7 available observations for the cloudMask, error and quality layers, but only 1 is available for the LST product. Why is that?
Thanks
Matteo

Hello,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. There should absolutely be corresponding LST layers for the LSTE error and the QC band. Can you give me your coordinate range so I can check what actually is available.
Thanks,
Brett

Dear Brett,

sorry for taking so long to answer back. The bbox of my polygon is:
Bounding box: xmin: 94.02935 ymin: -8.150503 xmax: 125.0321 ymax: 23.31493

the time window is:
sd<-"2024-08-01"
ed<-"2024-09-16"

Again, I confirm that I get the outputs as reported in my first message: only one LST product file, and 7 LST_err and Cloud_mask files.
Happy to run any further test if needed.
Matteo

Hi @monviso We have confirmed that the LST output for Sep 3, 2024 only includes the Fill value. That is the reason why there is no corresponding LST layer for some of the dates. -- Thanks -- Danielle
