Hii I have been trying to use MODIS (MOD11A1.006 Terra Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity Daily Global 1km ).

The LST But in MODIS, the range of temperature is too high and not starting from 0 Deg C (273 K) or -ve value. The range is as shown below

LST_Day_1km 7500-65535 Kelvin Daytime Land Surface Temperature

How to correct this to obtain a correct range ??

If you look at the band information page for this dataset, it lists a 'scale' value of 0.02 of the LST_Day_1km band. This indicates images should be multiplied by 0.02 to get the correct value in Kelvin.
