This paper illustrates a proposed method for the retrieval of land surface temperature (LST) from the two thermal bands of the LANDSAT-8 data. LANDSAT-8, the latest satellite from Landsat series, launched on 11 February 2013, using LANDSAT-8 Operational Line Imager and Thermal Infrared Sensor (OLI & TIRS) satellite data. LANDSAT-8 medium spatial resolution multispectral imagery presents particular interest in extracting land cover, because of the fine spectral resolution, the radiometric quantization of 12 bits. In this search a trial has been made to estimate LST over Al-Hashimiya district, south of Babylon province, middle of Iraq. Two dates images acquired on 2nd &18th of March 2018 to retrieve LST and compare them with ground truth data from infrared thermometer camera (all the measurements contacted with target by using type-k thermocouple) at the same time of images capture. The results showed that the rivers had a higher LST which is different to the other land cover types, of less than 3.47 C ◦, and the LST different for vegetation and residential area were less than 0.4 C ◦ with correlation coefficient of the two bands 10 and 11 Rbnad10= 0.70, Rband11 = 0.89 respectively, for the imaged acquired on the 2nd of march 2018 and Rband10= 0.70 and Rband11 = 0.72 on the 18th of march 2018. These results confirm that the proposed approach is effective for the retrieval of LST from the LANDSAT-8 Thermal bands, and the IR thermometer camera data which is an effective way to validate and improve the performance of LST retrieval. Generally the results show that the closer measurement taken from the scene center time, a better quality to classify the land cover. The purpose of this study is to assess the use of LANDSAT-8 data to specify temperature differences in land cover and compare the relationship between land surface temperature and land cover types.

In this research, models of heat distribution of the subsurface of the Wapsalit geothermal area were built, which their structures were known before, using finite different method. Rock thermal diffusivity was used as the model parameter, which controlled the heat flow. The result showed that the heat flow was adjusted the model parameters effectively. Land surface temperature (LST) as the result of the model was compared to LST from Landsat-8 Thermal Infrared Sensor Imagery and produced absolute error 6.8% and 3.6% for cross-section 1 and 2, respectively. This error percentage confirmed that the model was successfully depicted the actual heat distribution of the subsurface of the study area.

After Landsat 8 was launched in 2013, it was observed that for Thermal Infrared sensor (TIRS) bands, radiance from outside of an instrument’s field-of-view produced a non-uniform ghost signal across the focal plane that varied depending on the out-of-scene content (i.e., the stray light effect). A new stray light correction algorithm (SLCA) is currently operational and has been implemented into the United States Geological Survey (USGS) ground system since February 2017. The SLCA has also been applied to reprocess historical Landsat 8 scenes. After approximately two years of SLCA implementation, more land surface temperature (LST) validation studies are required to check the effect of correction in the estimation of LST from different retrieval algorithms. For this purpose, three different LST estimation method algorithms (i.e., the radiative transfer equation (RTE), single-channel algorithm (SCA), and split-window algorithm (SWA)) have been assessed. The study site is located on the campus of the University of Balearic Islands on the island of Mallorca (Spain) in the western Mediterranean Sea. The site is considered a heterogeneous area that is composed of different types of surfaces, such as buildings, asphalt roads, farming areas, sloped terrains, orange fields, almond trees, lawns, and some natural vegetation regions. Data from 21 scenes, which were acquired by the Landsat 8-TIRS sensor and extracted from a 100 × 100 m2 pixel, were used to retrieve the LST with different algorithms; then, they were compared with in situ LST measurements from a broadband thermal infrared radiometer located on the same Landsat 8 pixel. The results show good performances of the three methods, with the SWA showing the lowest observed RMSE (within 1.6–2 K), whereas the SCA applied to the TIRS band 10 (10 µm) was also appropriate, with a RMSE ranging within 2.0–2.3 K. The LST estimates using the RTE algorithm display the highest observed RMSE values (within 2.0–3.6 K) of all of the compared methods, but with an almost unbiased value of −0.1 K for the case of techniques applied to band 10 data. The SWAs are the preferred method to estimate the LST in our study area. However, further validation studies around the world are required.

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.
