Planet Land Surface Temperature

Planet Land Surface Temperature is a commercial Level 4 Planetary Variables product delivered through Planet's Subscriptions API ^[1]. The product family includes 20 m beta, 100 m, and 1000 m LST variants, with the catalogue row recording a 100 m native product and a 20 m resampled beta option ^[1]. Access is subscription-based under commercial licence terms, so procurement should account for API entitlement, area coverage, and variant availability in the subscription scope ^[1].

The product is positioned for monitoring temperature changes in cities, heatwave monitoring, and agricultural field temperature monitoring ^[1]. For building-thermal use, treat the 20 m beta layer cautiously: it is intended for single agricultural fields, and urban or water areas may not accurately reflect conditions ^[1]. The 100 m and 1000 m variants should be treated as broader thermal context layers rather than individual-building diagnostics ^[1].
