For my study, I need TIR images. From where I can get these images? My study area is located in INDIA.
download landsat 7 or 8 image. thermal band is band 6 in landsat 7 and band 10 or 11 in landsat 8.
Hi Padam,
You can go to http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/ and download the ASTER TIR images for free!
First of all thanks to all of you for your reply.
But available data either from Landsat or ASTER have course resolution (Landssat has 100 m while ASTER has 90m). I want more fine resolution imagery for my study. Actually, I am trying to identify the patches where surface and sub-surface water interacts. As surface water and sub-surface water have different temperature ranges and fine resolution TIR images will be very helpful in this regard.
If you are finding a finer resolution TIR images rater than LANDSAT or ASTER, commertial satellite such as GeoEye-1 or UAV with a thermal camera would be appropriate.
Landsat 7 has the highest TIR resolution of 60m in the moderate spatial resolution imagery. I used MASTER data in the urban heat island research before, but the study area limits in USA. You can freely download the data from here: http://master.jpl.nasa.gov/. There is a new airborne platform called HyTES, you can find the data at this link: http://hytes.jpl.nasa.gov/order. There airborne TIR images can be downloaded freely, at least for MASTER.
I wrote a short journal article to introduce existing TIR data. If you are interested, you can read my paper.

How to separate radioactive mineral (such as Uranium, Thorium etc) through thermal images?
What type of images are use for this purpose?
Can it perform through Arc GIS, EARDAS and ENVI
