Inversion and Analysis of Land Surface Temperature based on Landsat - a case study of BeiBei District in Chongqing

Abstract

Land surface temperature is the surface of the earth’s energy change and the exchange process, which is an important index for a lot of scientific research. In this paper, the surface temperature changes of BeiBei district in Chongqing in the past 20 years were inverted in 6 time phases. The surface temperature inversion method of Landsat remote sensing data was studied, and the atmospheric correction method was adopted to conduct the inversion by using Landsat5TM and landsat8OLI-TIRS image data. The results showed that from 2004 to 2014, the area of high temperature area increased year by year, and the area of low temperature area also increased year by year.
