The Landsat surface temperature data were interpolated to 30 m to ensure alignment with the solar reflective bands in the Level-1 products, which were in turn used as inputs to the surface temperature retrieval algorithms. For lake and reservoir validation, two sets of temperature data were evaluated: land-water boundary (<59 m from shore) data and far shore (>180 m from shore) data. Estuary data were retained and evaluated only if they were >180 m from shore.  The 59 m near shore threshold was chosen to be smaller than the finer of the two thermal band spatial resolutions for both the Landsat 7 ETM+ (60 m) and Landsat 5 TM (90 m) sensors. \n\nThis dataset is associated with the following publication:\nSchaeffer, B., J.
