the highest temperatures of the world are recorded in dry and warm climates. this can especially be observed in deserts, where vegetations and soil moisture are very low. as a result, the soil surface receives high thermal energy and its temperature rises up. the lut desert has the above characteristics, making it a suitable environment to prepare land surface temperature (lst) models. objectiv...

[1] This paper addresses practical issues related to the processing of 1-km National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) data for producing a consistent, long-term time series of active fire locations over the Continental United States and Canada. The effects of the interannual changes in measured background temperatures, caused by the ...

With the establishment of a new High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) reception system at IMD, New Delhi, real time data from microwave sounding instruments onboard NOAA-K, L, M and N series satellites has also become available. The raw HRPT is being interfaced with recently acquired ‘ATOVS AVHRR Preprocessing Package (AAPP)’ to perform temperature moisture retrievals AMSU NOAA-16 satelli...
