MWA {LST}

Mono window algorithm

Description

This function calculates Land Surface Temperature using mono window algorithm

Usage

MWA(BT = BT, tau = tau, E = E, Ta = Ta)

Arguments

BT

Raster* object, brightness temperature

tau

Atmospheric transmittance

E

Raster* object, Land Surface Emissivity calculated according to Van de Griend and Owe 1993 or Valor and Caselles 1996 or Sobrino et al. 2008

Ta

Mean atmospheric temperature (K) of the date when Landsat passed over the study area

Value

RasterLayer

Examples

BTemp <- raster::raster(ncol=100, nrow=100)
set.seed(2)
raster::values(BTemp) = runif(10000, min=298, max=305)
E <- raster::raster(ncol=100, nrow=100)
set.seed(2)
raster::values(E) = runif(10000, min=0.96, max=0.99)
MWA(BT = BTemp, tau = 0.86, E = E, Ta = 26)
