Ta: Mean atmospheric temperature

In LST: Land Surface Temperature Retrieval for Landsat 8

Mean atmospheric temperature

Description

This function calculates mean atmospheric temperature (Ta) using near-surface air temperature (To)

Usage

Ta(To = To, mod = mod)

Arguments

To	Near-surface air temperature (°C) of the date when Landsat passed over the study area
mod	A string specifying which model to use. It can be anyone of "USA 1976 Standard" or "Tropical Region" or "Mid-latitude Summer Region" or "Mid-latitude Winter Region"

Value

Mean atmospheric temperature (K)
