Modelling directional effects on remotely sensed land surface temperature

Article history: Received 7 May 2016 Received in revised form 10 November 2016 Accepted 13 December 2016 Available online 20 December 2016 Land surface temperature (LST) is a markedly directional variable and its remotely sensedmeasurement may be strongly affected by viewing and illumination geometries. This study proposes the use of LST products collocated in space and time, but obtained with ...

A One-Source Approach for Estimating Land Surface Heat Fluxes Using Remotely Sensed Land Surface Temperature

The partitioning of available energy between sensible heat and latent heat is important for precise water resources planning and management in the context of global climate change. Land surface temperature (LST) is a key variable in energy balance process and remotely sensed LST is widely used for estimating surface heat fluxes at regional scale. However, the inequality between LST and aerodyna...

Comparing and Combining Remotely Sensed Land Surface Temperature Products for Improved Hydrological Applications

Land surface temperature (LST) is an important variable that provides a valuable connection between the energy and water budget and is strongly linked to land surface hydrology. Space-borne remote sensing provides a consistent means for regularly observing LST using thermal infrared (TIR) and passive microwave observations each with unique strengths and weaknesses. The spatial resolution of TIR...
