Derivation of Land Surface Temperature for Landsat-8 TIRS Using a Split Window Algorithm

Land surface temperature (LST) is one of the most important variables measured by satellite remote sensing. Public domain data are available from the newly operational Landsat-8 Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS). This paper presents an adjustment of the split window algorithm (SWA) for TIRS that uses a...
