  source_file: This product is generated from monthly MODIS ET in 0.5x0.5 observations

  title: derived MODIS ET in 0.5x0.5

  Approach: I used gdal tool to convert the original tif file to netcdf file. Meanwhile I also converted the original unit to the standard one (Kg/m2/mon --> Kg/m2/s) and saved the final file in netcdf format.

  Temporal resolution: monthly

  General information: This product was derived from MODIS MOD16A2 monthly 0.5 degree CMG dataset.

  Spatial resolution: 0.5x0.5 degree
