A Physically Constrained Calibration Database for Land Surface Temperature Using Infrared Retrieval Algorithms

Land surface temperature (LST) is routinely retrieved from remote sensing instruments using semi-empirical relationships between top of atmosphere (TOA) radiances and LST, using ancillary data such as total column water vapor or emissivity. These algorithms are calibrated using a set of forward radi...
