Hello Researchers,

I am working on Land surface temperature for the first time using Split Window Algorithm.

The algorithm  mentioned in a research paper is:

LST =TB10 + C1(TB10-TB11)+C2 (TB10- TB11)2+ C0 + (C3+C4W) (1- ε) + (C5+C6W) Δε                   

i am having difficulty in calculating:-

1) W – Atmospheric water vapor content, how is this calculated?

Also,

2) WHILE CALCULATING, Δε – Difference in LSE 

First, i calculated the Land surface emissivity(LSE) for band 10 and band 11, it ranged from 0.95-0.99 in both bands. SO, when I found the difference in LSE of band 10and band 11, I got a null value black tiff image because the emissivity range is almost the same. 

If someone could tell me where am i going wrong. It would be a great help.
