Temporal resolution

Temporal resolution (TR) refers to the discrete resolution of a measurement with respect to time. It is defined as the amount of time needed to revisit and acquire data for the exact same location. When applied to remote sensing, this amound of time is influenced by the sensor platform's orbital characteristics and the features of the sensor itself. The temporal resolution is low when the revisiting delay is high and vice-versa. Temporal resolution is typically expressed in days.^[1]
