About this model

Calculates land surface temperature from Landsat 8 or 9 Collection 2 Level-1 bands using your scene's own MTL constants: top-of-atmosphere radiance, brightness temperature, NDVI, proportion of vegetation, emissivity and LST, all clipped to your area of interest, plus a hexagon statistics grid for urban heat island, agricultural or environmental studies. Optional atmospheric values bring it within about 1°C of the USGS Level-2 surface temperature product in our London tests; without them, use it for patterns and hot spots. Level-1 downloads need a free USGS account.
