Comparisons of Brightness Temperatures of Landsat-7/ETM+ and Terra/MODIS around Hotien Oasis in the Taklimakan Desert

Table 2

Band specification of the TIR bands of Landsat-7/ETM+ and Terra/MODIS.

				Center wavelength
Satellite	Sensor	Band	Spectral range; (μm)	For spectral range (μm)	For cumulative histogram at 50% of RSR (μm)	Spectral; radiance; (W/(m^2⋅sr·μm))	Spatial; resolution; (m)
Landsat-7	ETM+	6	10.31–12.36	11.335	11.217	8.20 (LG); 6.09 (HG)	60
Terra	MODIS	31	10.78–11.28	11.030	11.011	9.55 (300 K)	1000
		32	11.77–12.27	12.020	12.027	8.94 (300 K)

Note that LG and HG for Landsat-7/ETM+ indicate the low gain and the high gain, respectively.
