  description: 'This Collection provides Sentinel-3 [SLSTR Level-2 Land Surface Temperature](https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/user-guides/sentinel-3-slstr/product-types/level-2-lst)
    products containing data on land surface temperature measurements on a 1km grid.
    Radiance is measured in two channels to determine the temperature of the Earth''s
    surface skin in the instrument field of view, where the term "skin" refers to
    the top surface of bare soil or the effective emitting temperature of vegetation
    canopies as viewed from above.


    ## Data files


    The dataset includes data on the primary measurement variable, land surface temperature,
    in a single NetCDF file, `LST_in.nc`. A second file, `LST_ancillary.nc`, contains
    several ancillary variables:


    - Normalized Difference Vegetation Index

    - Surface biome classification

    - Fractional vegetation cover

    - Total water vapor column


    In addition to the primary and ancillary data files, a standard set of annotation
    data files provide meteorological information, geolocation and time coordinates,
    geometry information, and quality flags. More information about the product and
    data processing can be found in the [User Guide](https://sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel/user-guides/sentinel-3-slstr/product-types/level-2-lst)
    and [Technical Guide](https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/technical-guides/sentinel-3-slstr/level-2/lst-processing).


    This Collection contains Level-2 data in NetCDF files from April 2016 to present.


    ## STAC Item geometries


    The Collection contains small "chips" and long "stripes" of data collected along
    the satellite direction of travel. Approximately five percent of the STAC Items
    describing long stripes of data contain geometries that encompass a larger area
    than an exact concave hull of the data extents. This may require additional filtering
    when searching the Collection for Items that spatially intersect an area of interest.
