README file for LANDSAT-8 Thermal Infrared Sensor filter functions
September 2013

Filters were got from file:
http://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/TIRS_Relative_Spectral_Responses.BA_.v1.xlsx

Wavelength range for both 2 bands is 9, 14]microns, so [714, 1111]cm-1

SRF pre-processing:
1 Extract data from MS Excel file
2 Convert wavelength to wavenumbers
3 Name band files
    channel 1 is 10.8um
    channel 2 is 12.0um
4 Truncate SRFs
    channel 1 [800, 1050]cm-1
    channel 2 [714, 1000]cm-1
