1 Land Surface Temperature Measurements from EOS MODIS Data
A cloud-screen scheme with constraints on spatial and temporal variations in LSTs is developed to screen off the cloud-contaminated LSTs in the MODIS LST products. This scheme is applied to the V3 and V4 1km MODIS LST (MOD11A1) products in Lake Tahoe and Namco (a lake in Tibet) in 2002 to show the i...
