Example codes of ATC and DTC models.

Codes of DTC models include:

(1) DTC_GOT01.py is the example code of GOT01 model (five parameters).
(2) DTC_GOT09.py is the example code of GOT09 model (six parameters).
(3) DTC_GOT09_dT_tao.py is the example code of GOT09-dT-tao model (the recommended four-parameters DTC models), which is applicable for MODIS data.
(4) DTC_GEM.py is the example code of GEM-type models (including GEM-eta and GEM-sigma models, four parameters).

Codes of ATC models include:

(1) ATC_Enhance.py is the example code of Enhanced ATC model, which is modified from Zou et al.(2018).
(2) Example_ATC_data.xlsx is the example data for the Enhance ATC model.
