Beginner Help: Converting to Surface Temperature

Hi all, I am a PhD student hoping to use Planet data in one of my projects. While I have used ArcGIS in the past, I have not worked with satellite-based data before, so a lot of the terminology and data are new to me. Given that, please forgive me for what is likely a very basic set of questions. I am interested in determining the surface temperature of various lakes over time. Currently, it is my understanding that I should be able to download surface reflectance images and then convert these to surface temperature. I have found a tutorial on how to do that with Landsat imagery, but I am working with small alpine lakes, and would, thus, like to work with the imagery that Planet has to offer for improved resolution and temporal replication. At this stage, I find that I am struggling a bit with even knowing what to ‘google’ for help, so any advice or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. How should I decide which satellites to use (e.g., Dove R, Super Dove,

Planetscope harmonized bands with Sentinel-2

Hi Community, I used to think the Red-edge band alongside Red, Green, Blue and Near-Infrared bands of Planet are harmonized with Sentinel-2. However, the FAQ available through New-Generation PlanetScope FAQs suggests that Red-edge is excluded. Please could someone provide some information about this?Since the harmonized band is only from, I think January of 2022. I aim to use Sentinel-2 bands (red, blue, green and NIR) as a proxy for PlanetScope bands to enable me to go back to 2018 through 2022, and then interpolate the actual PlanetScope bands from 2022 to date for a time series analysis. My second query is to ask if an existing published article exists on this.Thank you Best regards Michael

So, I have 3 beautiful separated planet images Here is how they look all togetherNow I want to mosaic them But the mosaic gives me something like this, not a harmonized image… and the colors are very distorted...I followed the Planet ArcGIS guide https://university.planet.com/planet-integrations-arcgis-pro-workflow/1244865 and used Max it didnt work, then I used Blend, then Last, same with every single Operation , nothing worked….Hope someone can help me !

Only three bands valid for Planet Basemaps "global_monthly_yyyy_mm_mosaic"

Hi,I have a problem with the NIR band when I used the product "global_monthly_yyyy_mm_mosaic". It seems like it has four bands (RGB+NIR) band but the NIR contains only the value 255. I am not sure this is a technical issue or this product only has three bands available.Thanks for your help!

Non consistent surface reflectance values

Hello everyone, I am using PlanetScope Scene images already corrected in surface reflectance (Dove Classic) to assess the temporal changes of the vegetation cover on a specific site. As the site is about 30 km long, I need to use several tiles to cover the whole area. I have recently noticed that the reflectance values of the pixels of two overlapping images are quite different (even if the images were taken by the same satelitte, at the same time).Do somebody know why do I oberve this ? If yes, do somebody know how can I solve and obtain consistant surface reflectance values between overlapping tiles ? I thank you in advance for your answers, Léo

Missing metadata and problems with the tool Apparent Reflectance

Hello,I'm a college student and not very proficient in using ArcGis Pro and Planet Imagery.I would need advice on the Apparent Reflectance tool. I'm working with images from the PlanetScope satellite and I don't know where the problem is, but I don't see the metadata of the images. It's rejecting my data format. So I opened the metadata in a normal browser. To create I need Radiance Gain and Radinace Bias for each band. I'm not sure, but isn't it Radiometric Scale Factor and Reflectance Coefficient in the source current? Next I need the Sun Elevation, so I assume that is the same as the Illumination Elevation Angle? And I also know the Scale Factor and Offset, because it results from the number of bits in the image.So I tried to use these values to create. But it told me that the Acquisition Date is missing, probably because I don't have the metadata uploaded there. So now I don't know what to do with it, because I have nowhere to write the Acquisition Date.I will be grateful for any a

Planetary Variables: Soil Water Content Validation WhitepaperBlog

Attached is a whitepaper that covers both a spatial and temporal validation of Planet’s latest Soil Water Content product.The paper, which is partly based on Planet’s own field measurements, does a great job explaining why the validation of soil water content is so challenging. Other interesting topics covered are the number of in-situ measurements you need to get an equivalent of 1 Soil Water Content pixel (spoiler alert, this is 7!) within the same uncertainty and results of many temporal validations showing Pearson correlations up to 0.9.Please reach out to https://www.planet.com/contact-sales/ with any questions!
