A spatio-temporal analysis of land surface temperature (lst) in Bankura district, West Bengal (India) using Landsat images

The Land Surface Temperature (LST) is reffered as the radiative skin temperature of ground. It depends on the albedo, soil moisture and vegetation covers. Land Surface Temperature (LST) is one of the key variables in climatological and environmental studies. Many scientists want to measure land's temperature for many important reasons e.g. in places where it is too cold or too hot food crops may die. Temperature also influences weather and climatic characteristics of a region. So, mapping the temperature of Earth's land is helpful for scientists as well as the planers to better understand our world. Due to complexity of landscapes the sampling was difficult to derive LST and environmental response relationships. The temporal data acquired through space borne remote sensors has bridged the gap of temporal data for the entire earth surface. In this study the general trend in the LST of Bankura district is trying to establish since 1991. Besides, the spatial characteristics of LST also denoted.
