TCT is a very useful index for estimating vegetation, albedo and wetness by using remotely sensed images. Recently a paper has been published about the derivation of these coefficients for at-sensor reflectance. The paper is freely available until the end of this year at this link:

Thanks a lot Mohammad for sharing this paper. Yes indeed TCT is quite useful for soil moisture as well.
congratz Mohammad for the paper, it was a joy to read again about TCT after 20 years :) it is a powerful tool indeed. Do you plan also to compile time series of a selected cropland, showing the Br/Gn/Wn components, to estimate the crop yield?
Thanks a lot dear Professor Gábor Timár for your compliments. I am very grateful to you for your very useful suggestions. Right now I am working on my second paper regarding TCT for surface reflectance. It should be a detailed paper as compared to the paper already published about at-sensor reflectance. Then I may proceed to GPP estimation by using two orthogonal indices. That will be my final work in pursuit of my PhD as I hope to graduate in fall semester, this year. I hope I will follow your suggestions in my future research work starting from next year after the acquisition of my PhD degree.
