Mapping regional turbulent heat fluxes via variational assimilation of land surface temperature data from polar orbiting satellites

Estimation of turbulent heat fluxes by assimilating sequences of land surface temperature (LST) measurements into variational data assimilation (VDA) frameworks has been the subject of several studies. The VDA approaches estimate turbulent heat fluxes by minimizing the difference between LST observa...
