Land Surface Temperature
Land Surface Temperature (LST) refers to the temperature of the Earth's surface, which can vary based on factors like time of day, season, and surface materials. It is an important measurement for understanding climate patterns, weather forecasting, and environmental monitoring.
LST is typically measured using satellite remote sensing technology, which captures thermal infrared radiation emitted from the ground. This data helps scientists study urban heat islands, agricultural practices, and the effects of climate change on different ecosystems. Accurate LST measurements are essential for effective land management and resource planning.
