MWA: Mono window algorithm

In LST: Land Surface Temperature Retrieval for Landsat 8

Mono window algorithm

Description

This function calculates Land Surface Temperature using mono window algorithm

Usage

MWA(BT = BT, tau = tau, E = E, Ta = Ta)

Arguments

BT	SpatRaster object, brightness temperature
tau	Atmospheric transmittance
E	SpatRaster object, Land Surface Emissivity calculated according to Van de Griend and Owe 1993 or Valor and Caselles 1996 or Sobrino et al. 2008
Ta	Mean atmospheric temperature (K) of the date when Landsat passed over the study area

Value

SpatRaster

Examples

BTemp <- terra::rast(ncol=100, nrow=100)
set.seed(2)
terra::values(BTemp) = runif(10000, min=298, max=305)
E <- terra::rast(ncol=100, nrow=100)
set.seed(2)
terra::values(E) = runif(10000, min=0.96, max=0.99)
MWA(BT = BTemp, tau = 0.86, E = E, Ta = 26)
