STUDY OF VARIOUS FACTORS INFLUENCE ON LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN URBAN ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Land surface temperature (LST) is an important for urban enviro nment. Our research mainly based on the landuse and landcover (LULC) on LST. The re search of our study tells how the LST variations based especially for a rapidly dev eloping city such as Vellore, India. This study uses the techniques of remote sensin g and geographic information system (GIS) to detect the temperature variation of LST. The spatial variability of texture in LST was done. These variations are al so present in the images, and are responsible for the spa tial patterns in an urban enviro nment. The result values shows that both the spatial and temporal variation in surface t emperature is associated with CO 2 concentration levels and thus a ffects the local land use pattern.
