Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A strong and long-lasting heatwave is currently affecting western and central Europe. Temperatures started rising on 6 August, reaching peak values in the UK and France on 8 and 9 August 2020. In particular, temperatures in France broke new records for the month of August in Creil (39.3°C) and Rouen (38.4°C). This image shows the Land Surface Temperature (LST) map over central France as sensed by one of the two Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 9 August 2020. This LST is the temperature of the soil and should not be confused with the air temperature. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission is composed of two twin satellite(Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B) that are both equipped with the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer SLSTR, an instrument with a main objective of providing global and regional Sea and Land Surface Temperature (SST, LST) with a very high level of accuracy (for both climatological and meteorological applications). Land surface temperature maps are also used for commercial agricultural purposes to evaluate water and irrigation requirements during summer periods when crops may be exposed to heat stress or, in contrast, during winter periods, when crops and trees may be exposed to damaging frost.
