E. Comparison of the Brightness Temperature between the Data of LANDSAT and NOAA at Low Temperatures

The earth surface temperatures distribution have been observed by LANDSAT/TM6, NOAA/AVHRR4,5 and ADEOS/OCTS. In particular, LANDSAT/TM6 sensor has a very high spatial resolution. Therefore, it is suitable for the investigation of urban thermal environment. However, its calibration is known to be problematic.Two winter scenes of Hokkaido in northern Japan were analyzed. Here we show the result of them. Any correspondence on this subject is very much welcome to the address below.

The U.S.A. Government retains the ownership of the source data of LANDSAT.
NASDA offered the source data of LANDSAT.
The NOAA data was received at Meteorological Satellite Center of Japan Meteorological Agency, and provided by Japan Weather Association.
