Under cloudy conditions, microwave observations are usually utilized to derive the land surface temperature. However, microwave sensors usually have coarse spatial resolutions. High-Resolution (HR) LST data products are usually desired for many applications. Instead of developing and launching new high-resolution satellite sensors for LST observations, a more economical and practical way is to develop proper methodologies to derive high-resolution LSTs from available Low-Resolution (LR) datasets. This study explores different algorithms to downscale low-resolution LST data to a high resolution. The existing regression-based downscaling methods usually require simultaneous observations and ancillary data. The Super-Resolution Reconstruction (SRR) method developed for traditional image enhancement can be applicable to high-resolution LST generation. For the first time, we adapted the SRR method for LST data. We specifically built a unique database of LSTs for the example-based SRR method. After deriving the LST data from the coarse-resolution passive microwave observations, the AMSR-E at 25 km and\/or AMSR-2 at 10 km, we developed an algorithm to downscale them to a 1 km spatial resolution with the SRR method. The SRR downscaling algorithm can be implemented to obtain high-resolution LSTs without auxiliary data or any concurrent observations. The high-resolution LSTs are validated and evaluated with the ground measurements from the Surface Radiation (SURFRAD) Budget Network. The results demonstrate that the downscaled microwave LSTs have a high correlation coefficient of over 0.92, a small bias of less than 0.5 K, but a large Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of about 4 K, which is similar to the original microwave LST, so the errors in the downscaled LST could have been inherited from the original microwave LSTs. The validation results also indicate that the example-based method shows a better performance than the self-similarity-based algorithm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16050739","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,20]],"date-time":"2024-02-20T07:50:26Z","timestamp":1708415426000},"page":"739","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Downscaling Land Surface Temperature Derived from Microwave Observations with the Super-Resolution Reconstruction Method: A Case Study in the CONUS"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yu","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"given":"Donglian","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6178-7976","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiwu","family":"Zhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NOAA\/STAR\/SMCD, College Park, MD 20740, USA"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Houser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7768-4066","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chaowei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6978-2018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John J.","family":"Qu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2071","DOI":"10.1016\/j.agrformet.2009.05.016","article-title":"Advances in thermal infrared remote sensing for land surface modeling","volume":"149","author":"Kustas","year":"2009","journal-title":"Agric.
