1. ZAMBEZI RIVER
BASIN

2. Water temperature from Landsat 8
Case study
• Water temperature from
Landsat 8 derived for the
Lake Cahora Bassa till
western part of Lake
Cariba.
• 4 tiles needed to cover
area
• Temporal coverage:
2013
• Temporal resolution:
~monthly
• => ~50 scenes, 250GB

3. Water temperature from Landsat 8
Case study
Processing
• Generation of a multi-
temporal water mask.
• Erosion of this mask at
the borders to eliminate
influence of coastal
areas and to take into
account the spatial
resolution of LS 8
• Calculation of water
temperature from
thermal band

4. Water temperature from Landsat 8
Case study
4
• Extraction of
temperature at specific
points for validation

5. Leaf Area Index Datasets
Luia basin
• Leaf Area Index based on
Landsat & Sentinel data for
Luia basin
• 6 Sentinel-2 tiles needed to
cover area
• Temporal coverage: 2010-
2016
• Temporal resolution:
~monthly (increasing after
2013 with LS8 and 2016 with
Sentinel 2)
• => ~350 scenes, 1.1TB (only
scenes with low cloud cover!)
