What this is
Every model of the thermal-inertia ladder as a selectable overlay. Pick one in the map control. Each layer stores its raw physical values (day–night ΔT in K, apparent inertia in K⁻¹, physical thermal inertia P in tiu, uncertainties, albedo, scene counts), packed 16-bit into the image and colormapped in your browser.
The stretch slider works on raw data, not display values
The Stretch control is in each layer's real units and spans its actual data min→max (~65 000 levels). Whatever [low, high] you set on the raw values is projected onto the colormap (0–255) for display — so you can pull the contrast onto any physical range. The value readout and legend are in real units.
Models
| Rung | Output | Units |
|---|---|---|
| RAW/SCR/RN/PPF (L0–L4) | day−night ΔT proxy | K |
| ATI (L1) | apparent thermal inertia N(1−A)/ΔT | K⁻¹ |
| ATIM (L5) | physical P (phase-limited ~2×) | tiu |
| EBI (L6) | physical P (forcing-driven) | tiu |
| σ layers | per-pixel uncertainty | K / tiu |
"tiu" = J m⁻² K⁻¹ s⁻¹ᐟ² (thermal-inertia units). Physical P (L5/L6) has a robust relative pattern; its absolute scale is ~2–3× uncertain from ASTER's 2 looks/day (the ECOSTRESS integration in progress pins it). ΔT models: high ΔT = low inertia. ATI / P: high = high inertia.
