Land surface temperature (LST) retrieval from remote sensing data is pivotal for analyzing climate processes and surface energy budgets.
A deeply coupled framework integrating mechanistic modeling and machine learning is proposed to enhance the accuracy and generalizability of single-channel LST retrieval.
Global validation demonstrated a 30% reduction in root-mean-square error versus standalone methods, and a 53% improvement in mean absolute error under extreme humidity.
Continental-scale tests across five continents confirmed the superior generalizability of this model.
