ABSTRACTThe rapid population growth and development of infrastructure in the Bandung basin has triggered an uncontrolled land use changes. The changes of land use will impact on land surface temperature distribution. Finally, these changes will give influence on climate. Land surface temperature is one of the important climatic elements in the energy balance. Changes in land surface temperature variations will potentially change other elements of the climate. The purpose of this paper is to obtain and to analyze the changes of surface temperature distribution in Bandung basin using multi temporal satellite data processing that is Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 in 2004, 2009 and 2014. Near Infrared Channel (Near Infrared/NIR) and visible wave channels (Visible band) have used to obtain the value Normalized Difference Vegetation Index/NDVI index and Albedo. Land and vegetation emissivity value and thermal band have used to determine land surface temperature. The results showed that the surface temperature distribution of Bandung basin has been changes characterized by the presence of two hotspot characters i.e. hot areas in urban and hot areas in non-urban area. The area is characterized by decreasing vegetation index values, increasing albedo values and increasing on surface temperature.  Land Surface Temperatures average value increased by 1.3°C. Land surface temperature tends to rise supposed as a result of changes in vegetated area into open area and the build area  Keywords: land surface temperature, normalized difference vegetation index, albedoABSTRAKPesatnya pertumbuhan penduduk dan perkembangan infrastruktur di cekungan Bandung telah memicu perubahan tutupan lahan yang tidak terkendali. Perubahan tutupan lahan akan mempengaruhi distribusi suhu permukaan. Hal tersebut pada akhirnya nanti akan mempengaruhi iklim. Suhu permukaan merupakan salah satu unsur iklim yang penting dalam neraca energi. Perubahan variasi suhu permukaan berpotensi mengubah unsur unsur iklim yang lainnya. Tujuan makalah ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis perubahan distribusi suhu permukaan di cekungan Bandung melalui pengolahan data satelit multi waktu yaitu Landsat 5 dan Landsat 8 tahun 2004, 2009, 2014 dan 2016. Kanal Inframerah Dekat (Near Infrared/NIR) dan kanal gelombang tampak (Visible band) digunakan untuk memperoleh nilai Indeks Kehijauan Vegetasi (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index/NDVI) dan Albedo. Nilai emisivitas dari tanah dan vegetasi serta Band termal digunakan untuk menentukan nilai Suhu Permukaan Tanah.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di cekungan Bandung telah terjadi perubahan distribusi suhu permukaan yang dicirikan oleh adanya dua karakter hotspot yaitu daerah panas di daerah urban dan daerah panas di daerah non-urban. Daerah tersebut dicirikan menurunnya nilai indeks vegetasi, menurunnya nilai albedo dan meningkatnya nilai suhu permukaan tanah. Nilai rataan Suhu Permukaan Tanah tahun 2005 - 2014 meningkat sebesar 1.3°C. Kecenderungan naik ini diduga sebagai akibat adanya perubahan tutupan lahan bervegetasi menjadi daerah yang lebih terbuka dan daerah terbangun.Kata kunci: suhu permukaan, indeks kehijauan vegetasi, albedo

Land surface temperature (LST) is a vital physical parameter of earth surface system. Estimating high-resolution LST precisely is essential to understand heat change processes in urban environments. Existing LST products with coarse spatial resolution retrieved from satellite-based thermal infrared imagery have limited use in the detailed study of surface energy balance, evapotranspiration, and climatic change at the urban spatial scale. Downscaling LST is a practicable approach to obtain high accuracy and high-resolution LST. In this study, a machine learning-based geostatistical downscaling method (RFATPK) is proposed for downscaling LST which integrates the advantages of random forests and area-to-point Kriging methods. The RFATPK was performed to downscale the 90 m Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) LST 10 m over two representative areas in Guangzhou, China. The 10 m multi-type independent variables derived from the Sentinel-2A imagery on 1 November 2017, were incorporated into the RFATPK, which considered the nonlinear relationship between LST and independent variables and the scale effect of the regression residual LST. The downscaled results were further compared with the results obtained from the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) based thermal sharpening method (TsHARP). The experimental results showed that the RFATPK produced 10 m LST with higher accuracy than the TsHARP; the TsHARP showed poor performance when downscaling LST in the built-up and water regions because NDVI is a poor indicator for impervious surfaces and water bodies; the RFATPK captured LST difference over different land coverage patterns and produced the spatial details of downscaled LST on heterogeneous regions. More accurate LST data has wide applications in meteorological, hydrological, and ecological research and urban heat island monitoring.

The main disadvantage of Land surface temperature (LST) retrieval methods from Landsat TM thermal channel images is that atmospheric profile parameters are needed, and MODIS has several near infrared bands that can be used to estimate atmospheric profile parameters. Two methods that could be used to retrieve the LST from Landsat TM and MODIS data were compared in this paper, the first of them is the mono-window algorithm developed by Qin et al. and the second is the single-channel algorithm developed by Jimenez-Munoz and Sobrino. Atmospheric profile parameters such as atmospheric moisture content, atmospheric transmittance and average atmospheric temperature have been estimated from MODIS data, and the land surface emissivity values have been estimated from a methodology based on spectral mixture analysis. Finally, a comparison between the LST measured in situ and retrieved by the algorithms over urban area of Changsha city in China is present. Result indicates that the two LST retrieval algorithms can get high-precision results in support of atmospheric parameters from MODIS images, the average deviation of mono-window algorithm is 0.76K, and the deviation of generalized single-channel algorithm is 1.23k.

Gas emission in volcanic areas is one of the features that can be used for geothermal exploration and to monitor volcanic activity. Volcanic gases are usually emitted in permeable zones in geothermal fields. The use of thermal infrared radiometers (TIR) onboard of advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometers (ASTER) aims to detect thermal anomalies at the ground surface related to gas emissions from permeable zones. The study area is located around Bandung Basin, West Java (Indonesia), particularly the Papandayan and Domas craters. This area was chosen because of the easily detected land surface temperature (LST) following emissivity and vegetation corrections (Tcveg). The ASTER TIR images used in this study were acquired by direct night and day observation, including observations made using visible to near-infrared radiometers (VNIR). Field measurements of volcanic gases composed of SO2 and CO2 were performed at three different zones for each of the craters. The measured SO2 concentration was found to be constant over time, but CO2 concentration showed some variation in the craters. We obtained results suggesting that SO2 gas measurements and Tcveg are highly correlated. At Papandayan crater, the SO2 gas concentration was 334.34 ppm and the Tcveg temperature was 35.67 °C,  results that are considered highly anomalous. The same correlation was also found at Domas crater, which showed an increased SO2 gas concentration of 35.39 ppm located at a high-anomaly Tcveg of 30.65 °C. Therefore, the ASTER TIR images have potential to identify volcanic gases as related to high Tcveg.

Abstract. The AHS (Airborne Hyperspectral Scanner) instrument has 80 spectral bands covering the visible and near infrared (VNIR), short wave infrared (SWIR), mid infrared (MIR) and thermal infrared (TIR) spectral range. The instrument is operated by Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aerospacial (INTA), and it has been involved in several field campaigns since 2004. This paper presents an overview of the work performed with the AHS thermal imagery provided in the framework of the SPARC and SEN2FLEX campaigns, carried out respectively in 2004 and 2005 over an agricultural area in Spain. The data collected in both campaigns allowed for the first time the development and testing of algorithms for land surface temperature and emissivity retrieval as well as the estimation of evapotranspiration from AHS data. Errors were found to be around 1.5 K for land surface temperature and 1 mm/day for evapotranspiration.

Abstract. Obtaining spatially continuous, high resolution thermal images is crucial in order to effectively analyze heat-related phenomena in urban areas and the inherent high spatial and temporal variations. Spatiotemporal Fusion (STF) methods can be applied to enhance spatial and temporal resolutions simultaneously, but most STF approaches for the generation of Land Surface Temperature (LST) have not focused specifically on urban regions. This study therefore proposes a two-phase approach using Landsat 8 and MODIS images acquired on a study area in Beijing to first, investigate the sharpening of the fine resolution image input with urban-related spectral indices and second, to explore the potential of implementing the sharpened results into the Spatiotemporal Adaptive Data Fusion Algorithm for Temperature Mapping (SADFAT) to generate high spatiotemporal resolution LST images in urban areas. For this test, five urban indices were selected based on their correlation with brightness temperature. In the thermal sharpening phase, the Fractional Urban Cover (FUC) index was able to delineate spatial details in urban regions whilst maintaining its correlation with the original brightness temperature image. In the STF phase however, FUC sharpened results returned relatively high levels of correlation coefficient values up to 0.689, but suffered from the highest Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Average Absolute Difference (AAD) values of 4.260 K and 2.928 K, respectively. In contrast, Normalized Difference Building Index (NDBI) sharpened results recorded the lowest RMSE and AAD values of 3.126 K and 2.325 K, but also the lowest CC values. However, STF results were effective in delineating fine spatial details, ultimately demonstrating the potential of using sharpened urban or built-up indices as a means to generate sharpened thermal images for urban areas, as well as for input images in the SADFAT algorithm. The results from this study can be used to further improve STF approaches for daily and spatially continuous mapping of LST in urban areas.

<p>Anthropogenic Climate Change is expected to take a toll on the Antarctic environment and its biodiversity, which is concentrated on the continent’s few ice-free areas, such as the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV). To model the current terrestrial habitat distribution and predict possible climate induced changes, high spatial and temporal resolution abiotic variables, especially land surface temperature (LST) and soil moisture are needed, but are currently unavailable.</p><p>The aim of this project is to fill this gap and create a high resolution LST dataset of the Antarctic Dry Valleys. This variable is acquired in a high temporal resolution (sub-daily) by the MODIS sensor aboard Terra and Aqua satellites. However, as LST varies greatly in space, the spatial resolution provided by this data source (1000 m) is too low to give a meaningful impression of LST and to study biodiversity patterns. Therefore, we use data from Landsat and ASTER sensors as a reference to downscale MODIS LST to a spatial resolution of 30 m. 7 year’s worth of satellite data as well as terrain-derived auxiliary variables went into the development of the model, which predicts 30 m LST for the Antarctic Dry Valleys. </p><p>To model complex relations between terrain, radiation, land cover and LST, machine learning models are used. Multiple algorithms (Random Forest, NN, SVM, Gradient Boosting) are compared to find the best approach for predicting high resolution LST based on MODIS data. Using the best performing model, a daily dataset is created that provides LST for the Antarctic Dry Valleys from 2002 on.</p>
