Objectives Land surface temperature (LST) is a key variable for studying global or regional land surface processes and interactions with the atmosphere, and has important applications in various areas such as fire monitoring, urban heat island monitoring, volcanoe monitoring, irrigation management, and climate change studies. The overall objectives of the study therefore are twofold reflected in two different study phases: the development of an improved LST retrieval concept for the Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 missions, including its validation with a detailed analysis of the spectral, spatial and temporal synergistic aspects provided by the Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 mission, and the adaptation and BEAM implementation of the algorithm to Envisat MERIS and AATSR data followed by a detailed assessment based on multi-temporal LST analysis and comparison with the standard AATSR LST product.
