VIIRS

 

LST (Land Surface Temperature; Sobrino et al., 2003)

 

LST is estimated for day- and night-time acquisitions using a method similar to the one developed by Sobrino et al. (2003) for MODIS sensor, where equation coefficients have been adapted to VIIRS spectral characteristics.

 

 

SST (Sea Surface Temperature; El Kharraz, 2004)

 

SST is estimated for day- and night-time acquisitions using a method similar to the one developed by El Kharraz (2004) for MODIS sensor, where equation coefficients have been adapted to VIIRS spectral characteristics.
