Application of a simple mono window land surface temperature algorithm from landsat ETM+ over al Qassim, Saudi Arabia

This study was conducted to retrieve the land surface temperature (LST) from Landsat ETM+ data for Al Qassim, Saudi Arabia. The proposed technique employed a mono window LST algorithm for retrieving surface temperature from Landsat ETM+. The land surface emissivity and solar angle values were needed...
