Impact of Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Ground Air Temperature (Tair) on Land Use and Land Cover (LULC): An Investigative Study

The Land Surface Temperature (LST) is the fundamental concept of measuring temperature ground or soil using remote sensing technologies. LST an essential environmental parameter that has several uses in meteorology, climatology, agriculture, urban planning, and monitoring. Remote instruments, such as thermal infrared sensors aboard satellites, provide means to capture data on a global scale. air ( ) are two related but distinct measures valuable insights into different aspects: refers Earth's surface, it provides information about crop canopy, which can impact plant growth development, other hand surrounding air, influences rate evaporation, transpiration, photosynthesis plants. In this study, linear regression equation was developed correlate 19th March 2017, 14th 2021 from meteorological stations namely Veganpur Main Maize Research Station (MMRS) Godhra region. Landsat 8 optical bands were used estimate LST, whereas Sentinel 2 for Use Cover (LULC) purpose. To with , eight truth (GT) points collected both stations, minimum maximum temperatures 2017 2021. satellite derived found strongly concur, R2 value 0.97. It noted difference 2.9°C between (LST). Study showed 2021, area forestry, water bodies, barren land decreased 75.62 71.51%, 15.17 14.30%, 1.60 1.38%, 0.03 0.02%, respectively, however build-up increased 7.59 12.79%. During five-year period, study identified enhancement due increase built-up area. A change also seen throughout course period result variations LULC. Overall, came light that, under specific conditions speculation, estimated be closely associated temperature.
