Impact of High Concentrations of Saharan Dust Aerosols on Infrared-Based Land Surface Temperature Products
An analysis of three operational satellite-based thermal-infrared land surface temperature (LST) products is presented for conditions of heavy dust aerosol loading.The LST products are compared against ERA5’s skin temperature (SKT) across the Sahara Desert and Sahel region, where high concentrations of dust aerosols are prevalent.Large anoma
