Land Surface Temperature (LST) quantification is needed in various applications like temporal analysis, identification of global warming, land use or land cover, water management, soil moisture estimation and natural disasters. The objective of this study is estimation as well as validation of temperature data at 14 Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) in Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh with LST extracted by using remote sensing as well as Geographic Information System (GIS). Satellite data considered for estimation purpose is LANDSAT 8. Sensor data used for assessment of LST are OLI (Operational Land Imager) and TIR (Thermal Infrared). Thermal band  contains spectral bands of 10 and 11 were considered for evaluating LST independently by using algorithm called Mono Window Algorithm (MWA). Land Surface Emissivity (LSE) is the vital parameter for calculating LST. The LSE estimation requires NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) which is computed by using Band 4 (visible Red band) and band 5 (Near-Infra Red band) spectral radiance bands. Thermal band images having wavelength 11.2 µm and 12.5 µm of 30th May, 2015 and 21st October, 2015 were processed for the analysis of LST. Later on validation of estimated LST through in-suite temperature data obtained from 14 AWS stations in Chittoor district was carried out. The end results showed that, the LST retrieved by using proposed method achieved 5 per cent greater correlation coefficient (r) compared to LST retrieved by using existing method which is based on band 10.

Land surface temperature and vegetation cover are two important parameters to evaluate the climate change and environmental condition. The current study is carried out in respect of monitoring the changing phenomena of climate and environment. The area selected to conduct the study was ward number 1, 2 and 3 of Khulna City Corporation), from the third largest city of Bangladesh. This study is corresponding through the calculation of Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) for two different years, 2010 and 2018. LST and NDVI are observed to realize the association between surface temperature and amount of vegetation. With the help of ArcGIS 10.5, LST and NDVI calculations are done using Landsat 5 Thermal Mapper, Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager and Thermal Infrared Sensor images (for 2010 and 2018, respectively) collected from USGS Earth Explorer. The findings of the study specify that the highest temperature in 2018 is 32.5˚C in ward 2 and in 2010 it was 27.5˚C in ward 3, though the overall vegetation amount decreased in 2018, About 18, 900 square meter of very low canopy area has increased in ward 3 from the period of 2010 to 2018 and in the same time 35, 100 square meter of low canopy area has been decreased for the overall study area. However, parts of the study area of ward no. 3 had faced a significant increase in vegetation cover which is the cause of low temperature compared to ward 1 and 2 in 2018.

Abstract Remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) are the most efficient tools for spatial data processing. This Spatial technique helps in generating data on natural resources such as land, forests, water, and their management with planning. The study focuses on assessing land change and surface temperature for Nagpur city, Maharashtra, for two decades. Land surface temperature and land use land cover (LULC) are determined using Landsat 8 and Landsat 7 imageries for the years 2000 and 2020. The supervised classification technique is used with a maximum likelihood algorithm for performing land classification. Four significant classes are determined for classification, i.e., barren land, built-up, vegetation and water bodies. Thermal bands are used for the calculation of land surface temperature. The land use land cover map reveals that the built-up and water bodies are increasing with a decrease in vegetation and barren land. Likewise, the land surface temperature map showed increased temperature for all classes from 2000 to 2020. The overall accuracy of classification is 98 %, and the kappa coefficients are 0.98 and 0.9 for the years 2000 and 2020, respectively. Due to urban sprawl and changes in land use patterns, the increase in land surface temperature is documented, which is a global issue that needs to be addressed.

Introduction: Land Surface Temperature (LST) is a significant climatic variable and defined as how hot the "surface" of the Earth would feel to the physical touch in a particular location. A spatial analysis of the land surface temperature with respect to different land use/cover changes is vital to evaluate the hydrological processes. Methods: The objective of this paper is to assess the spatial variation of land surface temperature derived from thermal bands of the Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) by using split window algorithm. Place and Data: The study was conducted in Lalgudi block of Trichy District, Tamil Nadu, India. The block has diverse environment like forest area, barren land, river sand bed, water bodies, dry vegetation, cultivated areas (paddy, sugarcane, banana etc.) and settlements. Landsat 8 satellite images for four selected scenes (December 2014 & January 2015 and December 2017 & January 2018) were used to estimate the LST. Results: The spatial and temporal variation of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and LST were estimated. The average NDVI values of cropped fields varied from 0.3 to 0.5 in all the scenes. The maximum value of LST ranging from 35 to 40°C was recorded in river sand bed. Subsequently, semi-urban settlements in the central part of Lalgudi block exhibited higher temperature ranging from 28 – 30°C. The LST of paddy crop and sugarcane was in the range of 23 to 25°C. The water bodies exhibited LST around 20°C. The coconut plantations, forest area and Prosopis juliflora showed LST value ranging from 24 – 29°C. This kind of block level monitoring studies helps in adopting suitable policies to overcome or minimize the problems triggered by increase in land surface temperature.

<p> The earth’s average temperature has been a big issue on the global warming. The warming of the earth is largely the results of emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses (GHG) from human activities. As a hinterland of the Capital City, in the last two decades, Bogor is also getting warmer in comparison with the previous decades. This paper presents how the land surface temperature (LST) had been estimated using Split-Window (SW) algorithm and how its spatial distribution in Bogor was computed. The spectral radiance of Landsat-8 TIR bands 10 and 11, the emissivity values, and water vapor used as the input on SW Algorithm. The study revealed that the temperature within the built-up area, have warmer temperature than their surrounding ranging from 40<sup>0</sup>C to 45<sup>0</sup>C of 3,403.9 ha. The use of SW algorithm is quite reliable and accurate to estimate the LST derived from Landsat-8 having a mean deviation of only 2.7%, less than standard acceptable of 10%.</p>

Land Surface Temperature (LST) is a key phenomenon in worldwide climate change. The knowledge of surface temperature is important to a range of issues and themes in earth sciences, central to urban climatology, global environmental change, and human-environment interactions. In this study, LST for Kushtia District, Khulna division, Bangladesh, is derived using Arc-GIS software version from the images of Landsat 8 Optical Land Imager (OLI) of 30 m resolution and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIR) data of 100 m resolution, Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) with opto-mechanical sensor and Spatial Resolution of 30 m (60 m – thermal, 15-m panchromatic) and Landsat-5 Thematic MAPPER (TM) satellites. A total time span of 20 years, starting from 1998 to 2018 is selected. At every 5 years interval starting from 1998, air temperature, LST, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) have been calculated. Using the equation from Landsat user’s handbook, the digital number of thermal infrared band is converted into spectral radiance. Plank’s Inverse Function is used to obtain the effective at-sensor brightness temperature from the spectral radiance. The surface emissivity based on NDVI classes is used to retrieve the final LST. The study reveals that LST is increasing with the passage of time. Maximum values of LST are found along the North-East and North-West regions of Kushtia district. NDVI is found to have positive correlation with LST. Also, it has been found that NDWI has little influence on LST. The reasons behind the rise and fall of LST in different years are explained from changes in total vegetation coverage and total abundance of water body coverage viewpoint. The spatial distribution figures of air temperature, LST, NDVI and NDWI could be used as a guideline for urban planning, strategies for quality improvement of urban environment and a smart solution to the reduction of LST.

The goal of this study is to examine the effects of Rohingya Influx specially on vegetation land cover and LST in Teknaf Peninsula, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh over time. For doing so, the research followed three steps. Firstly, the primary and secondary data were collected from prescribed sources like LANDSAT 8 images from Earth Explorer (USGS) and the Shapefiles were collected from secondary sources. Then, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) functions are explored in geospatial environment to assess the effect of deforestation on the region. Finally, A correlation is shown between LST and NDVI for making a decision from the environmental perspective. The findings state that, the region around the Rohingya Camps progressively lost its vegetation density as a result of increasing deforestation. According to this analysis, there was 87.87 % vegetation cover in 2013, which gradually decreased before the Rohingya Invasion in 2017. After the incident in 2018, vegetation cover drops to 75.67 %. Similarly, area with no vegetation increased more rapidly than others. The outcome showed that the transition in land cover was quicker and more noticeable in recent time. As a result, the LST has been increasing over the years. According to the study, there were around 8.71 % of areas with high temperatures in 2013, which increased to 36.86 % in 2020. It indicates that a large quantity of vegetation has been lost as a result of deforestation, and the LST of this region has changed dramatically. Furthermore, data was examined by Union to assess the individual effect from 5 Rohingya camps, and it was discovered that the situation in Teknaf Union is terrible, while the situation in Baharchhara Union is comparably better. Finally, the results of the research encourage an extensive regional environmental policy to eradicate this problem. To recompense the loss of nature govt. and responsible department should take necessary steps like hill conservation or tree plantation.
