Measured from the perspective of the satellite, the product is limited to clear conditions over land and represents the effective land temperature over an isothermal mixed pixel. The product includes data quality information that provides an assessment of the quality of the algorithm retrievals for on-earth pixels. The units of measure for the land surface (skin) temperature value is kelvin. The Land Surface (Skin) Temperature product image is produced on the ABI fixed grid at 10 km resolution for Full Disk and 2 km resolution for CONUS and Mesoscale coverage regions from GOES East and West. The product's spatial resolution increased from 10 km to 2 km on 10 September 2021. Product data is produced under the following conditions: Existence of land; Clear sky; Geolocated source data to local zenith angles of 85 degrees for both daytime and nighttime conditions. The Land Surface Temperature (LST) product will be derived from GOES-R ABI longwave infrared spectral channels and is expected to be used in a number of applications in hydrology, meteorology, and climatology. Forecasters will use it to forecast the occurrence of fog and frost. The land surface product is of fundamental importance to the net radiation budget at the Earth's surface and to monitoring the state of crops and vegetation. It is an important indicator of both the greenhouse effect and the energy flux between the atmosphere and ground. Furthermore, it can be assimilated into climate, atmospheric, and land surface models to estimate sensible heat flux and latent heat flux. onGoing Customer Engagement Branch DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce ncei.sat.info@noaa.gov pointOfContact continual https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/C01521.jpg Example of the Land Surface Temperature (LST) product as generated by the GOES-R Land Surface Temperature algorithm.

The Land Surface Temperature product is generated by the GOES-R ABI Land Surface Temperature ground processing algorithm. This product is generated using a regression algorithm based on ABI brightness temperatures and brightness temperature differences for ABI window bands 14 and 15 with central wavelengths of 11.2 and 12.3 um, respectively and on Level 2+ processing parameters containing surface emissivity data. The algorithm applies difference regression coefficients for dry or moist atmospheric conditions as determined from the Total Precipitable Water product or the NWP total precipitable water dynamic processed ancillary data. The 10 km resolution Total Precipitable Water product is upscaled to 2 km using nearest neighbor to support the retrieval. The Land Surface Temperature algorithm operates on 2 km resolution pixels and generates products at this resolution for CONUS and Mesoscale coverage regions, and aggregates the retrieved land surface temperatures to 10 km resolution for the Full Disk coverage region.
