Lab 2 Land Surface Temperature Mapping - Marine Resource Management (GLS617)




    Land surface temperature (LST) is referred to climatological and environmental studies. This lab showing the state of the science of land surface temperature (LST) estimates from remote sensing platforms, models and in site approaches. LST is an important climate variable, related to surface energy balance and the integrated thermal state of the atmosphere within the planetary boundary layer (Jin 1996). Traditionally, LST was referred to standard surface-air temperature measured by sheltered thermometer above a flat on earthly surface. With satellite technology, satellite-based surface temperature called skin temperature, is become available globally (Dickinson 1994). Satellite LST products provide an estimate of the kinetic temperature of the earth’s surface. LST is a parameter in land surface process, not only acting as an indicator of climate change, but also due to its control of the upward air space radiation and the control of the surface temperature and the heat within the atmosphere.
