“HIGHLIGHTS:
• C3 advances Landsat TIR atmospheric correction, emissivity correction, and uncertainty estimates.
• C3 enables global surface temperature products, including polar regions.
• C3 retrievals improve accuracy and consistency across validation sites.
• Split window and single channel methods diverge at extreme temperature conditions.
• C3 and Landsat 10 support multi-decadal climate monitoring.
ABSTRACT: The Landsat program provides the longest continuous global record of thermal infrared observations of the Earth's surface, underpinning critical applications in climate monitoring, water resources, ecosystem dynamics, urban heat analysis, and natural hazard assessment. The release of a global inventory of Landsat Collection 2 Level 2 surface temperature products by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) marked a major milestone in operational provision of Landsat thermal infrared analysis-ready data. Ongoing validations and community uses of Collection 2 have identified opportunities to further improve accuracy, uncertainty characterization, and emissivity correction across diverse atmospheric and surface conditions. In preparation for the planned Landsat Collection 3 reprocessing of the Landsat data record in the late 2020s, the USGS is implementing a coordinated set of enhancements to the Level 2 surface temperature products. These include revised emissivity estimation that leverages external datasets, improved atmospheric characterization and uncertainty propagation, expanded dynamic range for high temperature targets, consideration of split window atmospheric correction algorithm for Landsat 8 and 9, and decoupling of thermal infrared processing from visible to shortwave infrared constraints to enable surface temperature retrievals under low or no solar illumination conditions. These changes are designed to improve product quality and consistency across the Landsat record. Beyond near-term performance gains, the Collection 3 design establishes a scalable processing architecture to accommodate the expanded spectral and radiometric measurement capabilities of the forthcoming Landsat 10 mission. By preserving continuity across the Landsat 4–9 record while enabling future algorithm evolution, Landsat Collection 3 will provide a foundation for long-term, multi-decadal Earth system thermal infrared observations…”

Aphrodite keeps her backside nice and callipygous while threatening her son Eros with her chancla...
A beautiful #BumDayMonday to y'all.

"Himeros (Desire), the companion of Eros (Love), so suffuses the eyes that it seems clearly to drip from them."

The strength of the common good can be traced through the Greek forms of #love.
#Eros is appetitive and possessive—the selfish engine of market exchange, always hungry to consume more.
#Philia runs deeper: once the bond of civic friendship, the solidarity that held republican citizens together in the shared polis, in koinonia.
#Agape goes further still: self-giving, gratuitous, oriented to the good itself.

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
Love is taking your drunk partner home 😉
#Dionysos held by his wife #Ariadne, helping the drunk god walk. He holds a lyre in his hand, she what is possibly a tambourine. A little #Eros on the left side of the vase painting seems to be playing a smaller version of it. His presence symbolises their mutual love and attraction.#mythology #GreekMythology #GreekRomanArt #ValentinesDay #ValentinesWeek @antiquidons @mythology
