Land surface temperature is an important factor in many areas, such as global climate change, hydrological, geo-/biophysical, and urban land use/land cover. As the latest launched satellite from the LANDSAT family, LANDSAT 8 has opened new possibilities for understanding the events on the Earth with remote sensing. This study presents an algorithm for the automatic mapping of land surface temperature from LANDSAT 8 data. The tool was developed using the LANDSAT 8 thermal infrared sensor Band 10 data. Different methods and formulas were used in the algorithm that successfully retrieves the land surface temperature to help us study the thermal environment of the ground surface. To verify the algorithm, the land surface temperature and the near-air temperature were compared. The results showed that, for the first case, the standard deviation was 2.4°C, and for the second case, it was 2.7°C. For future studies, the tool should be refined within situmeasurements of land surface temperature.

Land surface temperature (LST) is a crucial parameter in surface urban heat island (SUHI) studies. A better understanding of the driving mechanisms, influencing variations in LST dynamics, is required for the sustainable development of a city. This study used Changchun, a city in northeast China, as an example, to investigate the seasonal effects of different dominant driving factors on the spatial patterns of LST. Twelve Landsat 8 images were used to retrieve monthly LST, to characterize the urban thermal environment, and spectral mixture analysis was employed to estimate the effect of the driving factors, and correlation and linear regression analyses were used to explore their relationships. Results indicate that, (1) the spatial pattern of LST has dramatic monthly and seasonal changes. August has the highest mean LST of 38.11 °C, whereas December has the lowest (−19.12 °C). The ranking of SUHI intensity is as follows: summer (4.89 °C) > winter with snow cover (1.94 °C) > spring (1.16 °C) > autumn (0.89 °C) > winter without snow cover (−1.24 °C). (2) The effects of driving factors also have seasonal variations. The proportion of impervious surface area (ISA) in summer (49.01%) is slightly lower than those in spring (56.64%) and autumn (50.85%). Almost half of the area is covered with snow (43.48%) in winter. (3) The dominant factors are quite different for different seasons. LST possesses a positive relationship with ISA for all seasons and has the highest Pearson coefficient for summer (r = 0.89). For winter, the effect of vegetation on LST is not obvious, and snow becomes the dominant driving factor. Despite its small area proportion, water has the strongest cooling effect from spring to autumn, and has a warming effect in winter. (4) Human activities, such as agricultural burning, harvest, and different choices of crop species, could also affect the spatial patterns of LST.

Land surface temperature (LST) is an important parameter in global climate change and urban thermalenvironmental studies. The significance of land surface temperature is being acknowledged gradually and interest isincreasing in developing methodologies for the retrieval of LST from Satellite Remote Sensing (SRS) data. ThermalInfrared Sensor (TIRS) of Landsat-8 is the newest TIR sensor for the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM),offering two adjacent thermal infrared bands (10, 11), having significant beneficiary for the land surface temperatureinversion. The spectral radiance can be estimated through TIR bands 10 and 11 of Landsat-8 OLI_TIRS satellite image.In the present study, the radiative transfer equation-based method has been employed in estimating LST of Lahore andthe analysis demonstrated that estimated LST has the highest accuracy from the radiative transfer method through band10. Land Surface Emissivity (LSE) was derived with the aid of the NDVI’s threshold technique. The present studyresults show that as the built-up area increases and vegetation cover decreases in urban surface, they are linked toincrease in urban land surface temperature and conversely larger vegetation cover associated with lower urbantemperature. The output exposed that LST was high in built-up and barren land, whereas it was low in the area wherethere were more vegetation cover and water.

Since the end of 2019, the world has been surprised by Corona Virus (COVID-19) pandemic. The first case of COVID-19 in Indonesia was reported in March 2020. The Indonesian policymakers have announced to limit social interaction by applying physical distancing and appealed to stay at home to slow the spread of COVID-19. Yogyakarta city is known as a tourism city and student city also affected by the presence of COVID-19. Many tourist destinations, schools, colleges, institutions, companies, and industries not operating as usually because people have been appealed to work and study at home. Less outdoor activities caused the vehicle emission in the street is rarely. This condition makes the temperature is cooler. This paper aimed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the land surface temperature. Landsat 8 satellite data has been used to show the changes in LST before the pandemic, during a pandemic, and after the new normal. The results showed that during the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic with reducing outdoor activities, the LST was lower than before the pandemic. Whereas after the new normal, the LST was increased.

The Impact

Urbanization has been contributing more in global climate warming, with more than 50% of the population living in cities. Rapid population growth and change in land use / land cover (LULC) are closely linked. The transformation of LULC due to rapid urban expansion significantly affects the functions of biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as local and regional climates. Improper planning and uncontrolled management of LULC changes profoundly contribute to the rise of urban land surface temperature (LST). This study evaluates the impact of LULC changes on LST for 1997, 2007 and 2017 in the Rajshahi district (Bangladesh) using multi-temporal and multi-spectral Landsat 8 OLI and Landsat 5 TM satellite data sets. The analysis of LULC changes exposed a remarkable increase in the built-up areas and a significant decrease in the vegetation and agricultural land. The built-up area was increased almost double in last 20 years in the study area. The distribution of changes in LST shows that built-up areas recorded the highest temperature followed by bare land, vegetation and agricultural land and water bodies. The LULC-LST profiles also revealed the highest temperature in built-up areas and the lowest temperature in water bodies. In the last 20 years, LST was increased about 13ºC. The study demonstrates decrease in vegetation cover and increase in non-evaporating surfaces with significantly increases the surface temperature in the study area. Remote-sensing techniques were found one of the suitable techniques for rapid analysis of urban expansions and to identify the impact of urbanization on LST.
