High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Retrieval from Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS Data at Coastal Regions

Coastal sea surface temperature variability from Landsat infrared data

A time series of 23 Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) band 6 thermal infrared images over the period 1986–1996 is used to quantify variability of sea surface temperature (SST) along the central coast of Maine, a morphologically complex region of bays, estuaries, and islands. An iterative regression scheme using coregistered, temporally coincident, daily composites of Advanced Very High Resolution Ra...

Land Surface Temperature Retrieval from LANDSAT data using Emissivity Estimation

Land surface temperature (LST) is an essential factor in many areas like global climate change studies, urban land use/land cover, geo-/biophysical and also a key input for climate models. LANDSAT 8, the latest satellite from LANDSAT series, has given lot of possibilities to study the land processes using remote sensing. In this study an attempt has been made to estimate LST over Chittoor distr...

High spatial resolution sea surface climatology from Landsat thermal infrared data

High spatial and temporal resolution maps of sea surface temperature (SST) have numerous applications in coastal and estuarine systems. A climatology map, tracking SST as a function of year-day, was produced at Southern New England using 53 Landsat TM and ETM+ thermal infrared data. A recursive curve-fitting algorithm was used to fit these data and eliminate cloud contamination, resulting in an...

Generating daily land surface temperature at Landsat resolution by fusing Landsat and MODIS data

Retrieval of Coastal Water Information from Landsat MSS Data

In recent years an inverse problem of determining optical parameters of air-water system from the remotely sensed spectral radiance of water has deserved much attention in the field of environmental monitoring. Particularly, optimization approach to the inference of optical properties of subsurface water from the measurements of multispectral scanner data of the sea has been developed analytica...
