Fig. 19.2
Spectral distribution of the GOES-8 and GOES-12 imager channels
such as the total precipitable water and the characteristics of the middle-infrared
channel of 3.9
m to correct for atmospheric effects.
The land surface temperature can be produced for each cloud-free land pixel
observed by the GOES sensor. The spectral characters of GOES-12 through 15
imager are listed in Table

19.3 Theoretical Description
The GOES-LST algorithm development is based on a scientific research conducted
by Sun and Pinker (
2004
) and Yu et al. (
