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

Conventions:: Please contact Prof. James Randerson (Email: jranders@uci.edu) or Dr. Mingquan Mu (mmu@uci.edu) for any question

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.

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