Surface temperature is estimated using a modified Plank equation considering empirical constants for Landsat images. In addition, this model implements a correction of thermal radiance following to Wukelic et al. (1989).

"L7" for Landsat 7, "L8" for Landsat 8 or "auto" to guess from filenames
raster layer with leaf area index. See LAI()
area of interest to crop images, if waterOptions("autoAoi") == TRUE will look for any object called aoi on .GlobalEnv
"SC" for single channel or "SW" for split window algorithm. "SW" is only available for L8

Satellite thermal band. For L8 this should be band 10. Deprecated argument
