“…This data set combines MODIS daily data, monthly data, and meteorological station data to eliminate the missing and low‐quality MODIS values by co‐locating in situ observations, geographically weighted regression method, and regression of the elevation–temperature gradient. The reconstructed LST remote sensing data set has been widely used to analyze the spatiotemporal variations of LST (Amantai & Ding, 2021; Tang et al., 2022) and validate the performance of regional climate model (Tian, Zhang, Wang, et al., 2022; Zhang et al., 2022) due to its high quality. Hereafter, we refer to this data set as merged MODIS.…”
