Land Surface Temperature
Satellite-derived weekly average land surface temperature as computed from Landsat (30m resolution) and MODIS (1Km resolution). Geospatially derived land surface temperature is a measure of the temperature of the Earth's surface at a particular location, as determined using geographic information systems (GIS) technology. This information is typically obtained from satellite-based sensors, which can detect the thermal radiation emitted by the land surface. Land surface temperature is an important indicator of the health and productivity of an ecosystem, and can provide valuable information for monitoring and managing land resources. It is also an important variable in climate modeling and can help to improve our understanding of the Earth's climate system.
