Please download a free example dataset and use it in you app or analysis.

URL Expiration

All downloadable URLs expire in 90 days after your order.

Frequency and Update

The frequency is hourly. Also, generally, the latest data is usually updated within 1-2 hours after the latest Copernicus data is published. According to the Copernicus page, for the term from 2021 to present, “The global LST product is produced every hour in Near Real Time after less than 4 hours of the observation” and, for the term from 2010 to 2021 “The global LST product is produced every hour in Near Real Time after less than 3 hours of the observation.”

When you see your ordered data first time, you would recognize that the data does not contain the whole data (01 January, 2021 00:00:00 – present). This is NOT a bug but the data creation process has not done yet. After the order, the process begins, and then the whole data becomes accessible in several hours. In every 15 minutes, the data is revised in the direction of both the future and in the past.

The default format is csv where no single/double quotation marks are used in the file. The rows having only the value of time mean that LSTs are not observed at the point. Also, the geojson format is available, changing the file extension in the provided url from “csv” to “geojson.” Note that the geometry of geojson format is Point.

Tips for Using

Although, on our Web, Celsius is used for the unit of LST, as written below, the unit of LST on the downloadable data is Kelvin. Also, the time is not, as written below, observed time but published time. These two points should be fixed.

  • Convert the unit of LST from Kelvin to Celsius. (Celsius = Kelvin – 273.15. It is LST – 273.15).
  • Convert time, using the value of time and TIME_DELTA, the near real time (Deduct 240 + TIME_DELTA minutes from time. It is time – (4 * 60 minutes + TIME_DELTA). This is the case in using the data from 2021 to present. Using the data from 2010- 2021, the hour used in the equation should vary to 3.
  • Fix the converted time to your time zone.

Unlocking the Power of Historical Satellite Data

In today’s data-driven world, the ability to access precise and reliable information is more critical than ever. Whether you’re in agriculture, environmental monitoring, energy, or research, understanding environmental trends is key to making informed decisions. That’s where our business comes in.

We specialize in providing high-quality historical satellite data, focusing on two vital metrics: Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Sea Surface Temperature (SST). Our mission is to empower industries, researchers, and government agencies with the data they need to drive innovation, optimize operations, and understand the environment like never before.

Why LST and SST Data Matter

Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Sea Surface Temperature (SST) are crucial indicators of environmental health and climate trends. LST data offers insights into surface heat fluxes, urban heat islands, and agricultural productivity. SST data, on the other hand, is essential for studying marine ecosystems, weather patterns, and climate change.

These data points are invaluable for:

  • Agriculture: Monitoring soil moisture and crop health to improve yield predictions.
  • Environmental Monitoring: Tracking the effects of climate change on land and sea surfaces.
  • Energy: Optimizing renewable energy production, especially in solar and wind sectors.
  • Insurance: Assessing risk and predicting potential natural disasters.
  • Urban Planning: Designing cities that are resilient to temperature extremes.
  • Research: Conducting groundbreaking studies on global climate patterns.
