Since 2005, the Land Surface Analysis Satellite Application Facility (LSA SAF) operationally retrieves Land Surface Temperature (LST) for the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) on board Meteosat Second Generation (MSG). The high temporal resolution of the Meteosat satellites and their long term availability since 1977 make their data highly valuable for climate studies. In o...

The present study examines the seasonal relationship between land surface temperature (LST) and normalized difference water index (NDWI) on various surfaces in Raipur City of India by using a series Landsat images for four specific seasons since 1991-92. LST is retrieved mono-window algorithm technique. results show that area noticeably affected composition. best correlation (correlation coeffi...

This paper presents the status of land-surface temperature (LST) standard products retrieved from Earth Observing System (EOS) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. Based on estimates of the channel-dependence error and noise equivalent temperature difference (NEDT) and the calibration accuracy of MODIS thermal–infrared data, the impact of instrument performance on the acc...

The present study analyzes the seasonal variability of relationship between land surface temperature (LST) and normalized difference bareness index (NDBaI) on different use/land cover (LULC) in Raipur City, India by using sixty-five Landsat images four seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon, winter) 1991-1992, 1995-1996, 1999-2000, 2004-2005, 2009-2010, 2014-2015, 2018-2019. mono-window al...

A practical algorithm was proposed to retrieve land surface temperature (LST) from Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) data in mid-latitude regions. The key parameter transmittance is generally computed from water vapor content, while water vapor channel is absent in VIIRS data. In order to overcome this shortcoming, the water vapor content was obtained from Moderate Resolution Ima...

Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) is crucial importance in water science and hydrological process understanding especially semi-arid/arid areas since ET represents more than 85% the total budget. FAO-56 one widely used formulations to estimate actual crop (ETc act) due its operational nature it a reasonable compromise between simplicity accuracy. In this vein, objective paper was e...

Urban growth-related changes in land use and cover have segmented urban areas into zones of distinct surface air temperatures (i.e., Local Climate Zones—LCZ). While studies revealed inter-LCZ temperature variations, understanding controls variations Land Surface Temperature (LST) within LCZs has largely remained uninvestigated. In view the need for LCZ-specific heat mitigation strategies, this ...

In recent decades, unprecedented urban expansion has taken place in developing countries resulting in the emergence of megacities or urban agglomeration. It has been highly concerned by many countries about a variety of urban environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions and urban heat island phenomenon associated with urbanization. Generally, thermal environment is monitored by remote ...

The Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) land surface temperature (LST) product has a long-term time series of data from 20 May 2002 to 8 April 2012 and is a crucial dataset for global change studies. Accuracy and uncertainty assessment of satellite derived LST is important for its use in studying land–surface–atmosphere interactions. However, the validation of AATSR-derived LST pro...

Monitoring the impact of changes in land use/land cover (LULC) and surface temperature (LST) is great importance environmental urban studies. In this context, study aimed to analyze dynamics LULC its on spatiotemporal variation LST two largest cities Syria, Damascus, Aleppo. To achieve this, changes, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), were calculated from multi-temporal Landsat data...
