Land surface temperature (LST) is the radiative skin temperature of the land derived from solar radiation. LST measures the emission of thermal radiance from the land surface where the incoming solar energy interacts with and heats the ground, or the surface of the canopy in vegetated areas. LST is a mixture of vegetation and bare soil temperatures. 2, record 2, English, - land%20surface%20temperature

The Laser Spot Tracker (LST) is a small, universally-adaptive, pod-mounted detection system for tactical attack aircraft. The LST can search an extended geographic region ahead of the aircraft, detect a target being designated by a laser, and provide accurate steering commands for first-pass attack.
