ADAPTING AN EXISTING EMPIRICAL ALGORITHM FOR MICROWAVE LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE RETRIEVAL IN CHINA FOR AMSR2 DATA

Adapting an Existing Empirical Algorithm for Microwave Land Surface Temperature Retrieval in China for AMSR2 Data

To extend the time span of the microwave (MW) land surface temperature (LST) dataset in China, this study proposed an optimized empirical algorithm for Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) LST retrieval based on the algorithm for its predecessor, the AMSR-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E).A modified comprehensive classification system of
