surfaceTemperature: Estimates Land Surface Temperature from Landsat Data

Description Usage Arguments Author(s) References

Description

Surface temperature is estimated using a modified Plank equation considering empirical constants for Landsat images. In addition, this model implements a correction of thermal radiance following to Wukelic et al. (1989).

Usage

1
surfaceTemperature(thermalband, sat = "auto", LAI, aoi, WeatherStation)

Arguments

thermalband

Satellite thermal band

sat

"L7" for Landsat 7, "L8" for Landsat 8 or "auto" to guess from filenames

LAI

raster layer with leaf area index. See LAI()

aoi

area of interest to crop images, if waterOptions("autoAoi") == TRUE will look for any object called aoi on .GlobalEnv

WeatherStation

Weather Station data
