Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity Retrieval From Nighttime Middle-Infrared and Thermal-Infrared Sentinel-3 Images

The Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) onboard the two Sentinel-3 satellites provides daily global coverage observation at daytime and nighttime. The split-window (SW) algorithm is currently used to retrieve the land surface temperature (LST) from SLSTR images; however, this algorithm has to utilize visible and near-infrared (VNIR) images and land cover to determine pixel emissivi...
