Modeling the land surface temperature using thermal remote sensing at Godhra, Gujarat

(2012) estimated the spatial distribution of minimum and maximum air temperatures using land surface temperature (LST) and normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) products from the MODIS sensor and air temperature (Ta) data from collected from automatic weather stations (AWS) over Gujarat region of India. In general, the regression equation were able to model the maximum and minimum temperature in Godhra using LST_NIGHT_1KM remote sensing imagery a promising agreement between the MODIS 1-km land surface temperature products and the ground-measured temperatures for the Godhra station, indicated the applicability of selected MODIS imagery for temperature simulation in the whole Kakanpur watershed and adjoining area. [...]it can be concluded that LST_Night_1km band could be used to calculate temperature over the CAET, Godhra and Kakanpur gauge stations of middle Guj arat.
