High resolution land surface temperature

Satellite(s) Multiple (SMAP, AMSR-E, Sentinel-2).	Monitoring element Land surface temperature.

Satellite(s) Multiple (SMAP, AMSR-E, Sentinel-2).	Monitoring element Land surface temperature.
Description technique Vandersat high resolution land surface temperature data are collected from passive microwave satellites, which measure microwave signals that are naturally radiating from the Earth’s surface.	Accuracy / Resolution 100 m.
	Case study Mainly used as near real time product by: farmers throughout the world, e.g. for drought insurance products; water authorities.
Also fits domain Freshwater, Land.
Benefits Daily, high spatial resolution. Dynamic vegetation information included.	Limitations Not free. Price depends on area size. Likely price range for Northland Region for e.g. 5 year historical dataset ~ 30-50kNZ$ (estimate May 2021)
Applicability for Northland Yes, it could be used for drought studies, initially to get coverage of whole region of historic data. If validated, near-real time delivery is feasible.
