Table 2
Band specification of the TIR bands of Landsat-7/ETM+ and Terra/MODIS.
| | | | | Center wavelength | | | Satellite | Sensor | Band | Spectral range (μm) | For spectral range (μm) | For cumulative histogram at 50% of RSR (μm) | Spectral radiance (W/(m2sr·μm)) | Spatial resolution (m) |
| Landsat-7 | ETM+ | 6 | 10.31–12.36 | 11.335 | 11.217 | 8.20 (LG) 6.09 (HG) | 60 |
| Terra | MODIS | 31 | 10.78–11.28 | 11.030 | 11.011 | 9.55 (300 K) |
1000 | 32 | 11.77–12.27 | 12.020 | 12.027 | 8.94 (300 K) |
