Atmospheric water vapor retrieval from Landsat 8 thermal infrared images

Abstract: Atmospheric water vapor (wv) is required for the accurate retrieval of the land surface temperature from remote sensing data and other applications. This work aims to estimate wv from Landsat 8 Thermal InfraRed Sensor (TIRS) images using a new modified split‐window covariance‐variance ratio (MSWCVR) method on the basis of the brightness temperatures of two thermal infrared bands. Results show that the MSWCVR method can theoretically retrieve wv with an accuracy better than 0.3 g/cm2 for dry atmosphere (wv <2 g… Show more

“…To perform the GSC and PSC algorithms, L sen , T sen , ε , w , and T n (optional) should be obtained. L sen (W·m −2 ·sr −1 ·μm −1 ) and T sen (K) can be calculated from TIR data after radiative calibration; ε can be estimated using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) thresholds method (Sobrino et al, ); w (g/cm 2 ) can be obtained from Landsat 8 TIRS data using split‐window covariance‐variance ratio method (Ren et al, ; Wang et al, ), satellite AWV products or meteorological products (e.g., MODIS total column precipitable water vapor [MOD05] and NCEP); T n (°C) can be estimated by means of Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing (Cristóbal et al, ; Wang et al, ).…”

“…In equation , the critical values of NDVI for vegetation and soil are represented by NDVI max and NDVI min , respectively, and P v is the vegetation fraction. Ren et al () introduced the modified SWCVR for the estimation of WVC incorporating a second‐order polynomial expression as shown in equation , where the coefficients ( a 1 , a 2 , and a 3 ) are determined using regression with a priori reference such as the Thermodynamic Initial Guess Retrieval (TIGR) atmospheric profiles (Chedin et al, ), meteorological observations, and or other spaceborne products of MODIS or other sensors (Wang et al, ). trueεr={ 0.993913.75em()0.0195Pv+0.9688/()0.0149Pv+0.97470.996613.75emitalicNDVI<italicNDVImin0.12em4emitalicNDVIminitalicNDVIitalicNDVImaxitalicNDVI>italicNDVImax4em;Pv=[],NDVINDVIitalicminNDVIitalicmaxNDVIitalicmin2 WVC0=a1τ2+a2τ+a3 …”
