TST: Earth Surface Temperature computation

This module is used to calculate the temperature of Earth surface according to emissivity data, steam, and a thermal band. Air temperature data could also be added.

There are two options:

Steam

Steam and air temperature

One of the available atmospheric bases is needed to be chosen: TIGR-1, TIGR-2, TIGR-3 and STD. Also, the sensor of the thermal band. Users can choose between reading the sensor from metadata or choosing one of the available sensors: Landsat-4 (MSS), Landsat-5 (TM), Landsat-7 (ETM+).

The red band, the infrared band and the mask (in the case it is added) must have the same field, resolution and reference system for a correct functioning in the application.

Syntax:

TST 0 Thermal Emissivity Steam TST BD_Atmos Sensor
TST 1 Thermal Emissivity Steam TempAire TST BD_Atmos Sensor

Options:

0: Calculation of the TST from steam data.
1: Calculation of the TST from steam and air temperature data.

Parameters:

Thermal (Thermal - Input parameter): Input thermal band file.
Emissivity (Emissivity - Input parameter): Input emissivity data file.
Steam (Steam - Input parameter): Input stream data file.
TST (Terrestrial Surface Temperature - Output parameter): Output file of the result of the calculation of the temperature of the Earth's surface.
BD_Atmos (Input parameter): Atmospheric database. The available values are: "TIGR-1", "TIGR-2", "TIGR-3" or "STD".
Sensor (Input parameter): Thermal band sensor. The available values are:
- 0 (get sensor from metadata)
- 4 (for Landsat-4 MSS)
- 5 (for Landsat-5 TM)
- 7 (for Landsat-7 ETM+).

TempAire (Air Temperature - Input parameter): Input air temperature data file.

Modifiers:

This module has no modifying parameters.
