Land-surface temperature - emissivity retrieval
Retrieves surface temperature and spectral emissivity from TIR radiance measurements; good for urban heat islands, drought stress monitoring, and surface energy balance studies.
Separates emissivity from temperature using split-window or temperature-emissivity separation algorithms. Requires accurate atmospheric correction. Wikipedia: Land surface temperature
