Abstract
The PDF document is a copy of the final version of this manuscript that was subsequently accepted by the journal for publication. The paper has been through peer review, but it has not been subject to any additional copy-editing or journal specific formatting (so will look different from the final version of record, which may be accessed following the DOI above depending on your access situation). 2 The MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on-board the Terra and Aqua satellites is a critical tool for providing daily estimates of land surface temperature (LST). Terra launched in late 1999 has a morning (AM) overpass, whereas Aqua launched in early 2002 has an afternoon (PM). Generally, LST is expected, under cloudless conditions, to be warmer in the early afternoon than the morning due to the link between maximum skin temperature and solar insolation peak time, therefore the Aqua PM LST is likely to be closer to the maximum daily LST than that acquired from Terra. This letter investigated differences between the Aqua MODIS PM and Terra MODIS AM LST estimates over a range of land cover classes, locations, and dates, across Canada. The aim was to develop a simple adjustment which can be applied to Terra AM LST estimates to approximate a “synthetic ” Aqua PM LST product

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
