| description | <p>The spatial and temporal coverage of the Landsat satellite imagery make it an
ideal resource for the monitoring of water temperature over large territories
at a moderate spatial and temporal scale at a low cost. We used Landsat 5 and
Landsat 7 archive images to create the Lake Skin Surface Temperature
(LakeSST) data set, which contains skin water surface temperature data for
442 French water bodies (natural lakes, reservoirs, ponds, gravel pit lakes
and quarry lakes) for the period 1999–2016. We assessed the quality of the
satellite temperature measurements by comparing them to in situ measurements
and taking into account the cool skin and warm layer effects. To estimate
these effects and to investigate the theoretical differences between the
freshwater and seawater cases, we adapted the COARE 3.0 algorithm to the
freshwater environment. We also estimated the warm layer effect using in situ
data. At the reservoir of Bimont, the estimated cool skin effect was about
−0.3 and −0.6 °C most of time, while the warm layer effect at
0.55 m was negligible on average, but could occasionally attain several
degrees, and a cool layer was often observed in the night. The overall RMSE of
the satellite-derived temperature measurements was about 1.2 °C,
similar to other applications of satellite images to estimate freshwater
surface temperatures. The LakeSST data can be used for studies on the
temporal evolution of lake water temperature and for geographical studies of
temperature patterns. The LakeSST data are available at
