Average historic annual daytime land surface temperature (LST) (degrees Celsius)

Overview
Dataset Title Average historic annual daytime land surface temperature (LST) (degrees Celsius) ?
Abstract For the period from 2001 to 2016, and the period 2001 to 2017, average annual daytime LST in degrees Celsius is derived from MODIS MOD11C3 Monthly Daytime Land Surface Temperature data (https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/global-maps/MOD_LSTD_M). ?

Data Quality
Lineage Statement Average annual daytime LST is derived from MODIS MOD11C3 Monthly Daytime Land Surface Temperature data (https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/global-maps/MOD_LSTD_M). Data are clipped to Africa and converted from Kelvin to degrees Celsius (Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15). Moreover, the scaling factor of 0.02 is applied. ?
