Definition

  • [Ahmet Sariko‡] Land surface temperature is a significant parameter for energy and water cycle in the atmospheresystem. For that reason, different algorithms have been developed for determining the land surfacetemperature by using land and satellite data. In this study, land surface temperature was calculatedby the Price1984 algorithm by using NOAA-AVHRR satellite data and results were compared with landvalues. The results of the comparison have shown that land surface temperature can be calculatedwith a very high accuracy by using NOAA-AVHRR satellite data... , "[Joan Miquel Galve] Land surface temperature (LST) is a key parameter in the physical study of atmosphere-landinteractions as well as hydrological, mass and energy balances and global warming monitoring. Remotesensing in the thermal infrared region is the main tool to obtain this parameter at global scalewith different spatial and temporal resolutions... , "[Donglian Sun] Land surface temperature (LST) is an important element of the climate system. Remote sensing methods for estimating LST have been developed in the past and several of them have been implemented at large-scales... , "[Yuanbo Liu] Land surface temperature (LST) is a key parameter in numerous environmental studies. Surfaceheterogeneity induces uncertainty in pixel-wise LST. Spatial scaling may account for theuncertainty, however, different approaches lead to differences in scaled values... , "[Matthias Vollmer] Land surface temperature (LST) is an important component of the energy-budget of the surface. Inorder to determine LST from satellite IR-data, it is necessary to know the atmospheric influence onthe radiation measured by the satellite. The atmospheric influence can be calculated with aradiation-transfer model, e.g. MODTRAN-3, provided one has sufficient knowledge about the state ofthe atmosphere (moistureand temperature-profiles) and the surface (emissivity)...
