Dataset
EOCIS: Daily land surface temperature from Landsat 8/9, level 2 merged (L2) UK product, version 1.00
Abstract
This dataset contains land surface temperatures (LSTs) and their uncertainty estimates from the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on Landsat 8/9. Satellite land surface temperatures are skin temperatures, which means, for example, the temperature of the ground surface in bare soil areas, the temperature of the canopy over forests, and a mix of the soil and leaf temperature over sparse vegetation. The skin temperature is an important variable when considering surface fluxes of, for instance, heat and water.
Daytime temperature estimates are provided at approximately 10:30 local solar time. Temperatures are reported in Kelvin and represent the skin temperature of the Earth's surface.
The dataset was produced by the University of Leicester (UoL) and LSTs were retrieved using the (UoL) LST retrieval algorithm and data were processed in the UoL processing chain.
The dataset was produced as part of the UK Earth Observation Climate Information Service (EOCIS) and is based on development funded under ESA CCI with additional funding from NCEO. The EOCIS dataset includes and continues the CCI v4 CDR (currently under development).
