Method and an Apparatus of Calibrating a Thermal Satellite for Measuring Land Surface Temperature

The invention concerns a method for calibrating a thermal satellite used to measure land surface temperature (LST). Based on real-time infrared image data, a preliminary LST product is calculated. For each location point, a reference surface temperature from a weather model is retrieved. A radiance measurement offset is then determined based on the reference temperature. Using this offset, the satellite's radiance measurements are corrected, and a calibrated LST product is generated. The method allows calibration to begin as soon as infrared data is sensed, enabling real-time LST measurement with real-time calibration. This supports dynamic in-orbit calibration throughout the satellite's orbit and improves the reliability and accuracy of LST measurements.
