surfaceTemperature: Estimates Land Surface Temperature from Landsat Data
In midraed/water: Actual Evapotranspiration with Energy Balance Models

Description Usage Arguments Author(s) References See Also

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).

surfaceTemperature(
  image.DN,
  sat = "auto",
  LAI,
  aoi,
  method = "SC",
  WeatherStation,
  thermalband
)

`image.DN`	raw image in digital numbers
`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
`method`	"SC" for single channel or "SW" for split window algorithm. "SW" is only available for L8
`WeatherStation`	Weather Station data
`thermalband`	Satellite thermal band. For L8 this should be band 10. Deprecated argument
