Retrieval of land surface temperature of Shandong peninsula using MODIS image and split window algorithm

The split-window algorithm is briefly introduced. The computation of split-window algorithm is simplified. According to the character of MODIS, the water content is derived from the image and the transmittances of 31 and 32 bands are calculated through building the relationship between the water content and the transmittance. Finally, the land surface temperature(LST) of Shandong peninsula is retrieved using the split window algorithm.
