tau: Atmospheric transmittance calculation

In LST: Land Surface Temperature Retrieval for Landsat 8

Atmospheric transmittance calculation

Description

This function calculates Atmospheric transmittance from near-surface air temperature (To, °C) and relative humidity (RH, %) of the date when Landsat passed over the study area

Usage

tau(To = To, RH = To, band = band)

Arguments

To	Near-surface air temperature (°C) of the date when Landsat passed over the study area
RH	relative humidity (%) of the date when Landsat passed over the study area
band	A string specifying which Landsat 8 thermal band to use. It can be "band 10" or "band 11"

Value

Atmospheric transmittance

Examples

tau(To = 26, RH = 42, band = "band 11")
