Assessment of land surface temperature in relation to built-up index: A case study on Nagaon District, Assam, India

Rimlee Bora

Abstract


When calculating the surface temperature from thermal data, the Land Surface Temperature is an essential statistic. The goal of this research is to use multi-temporal data to capture the time-space contrast of land surface temperature in the Nagaon district of Assam, as well as the relationship between land surface temperature and the built-up index. Ratio of Variation to the mean Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) employs the infrared spectrum to evaluate man-made urban environments. Three sets of satellite images spanning three decades (1992, 2004, and 2021) are imported into ArcGIS, where spatial-temporal LST data is extracted using the mono window algorithm approach, and the resulting dataset is examined statistically and cartographically. The findings denote that maximum and minimum temperatures have been rising during the period of 1992-2021. LST increases 2.77ºc in terms of minimum temperature from 1992 to 2004 and 1.93ºc rises from 2004 to 2021.The Pearson correlation approach has been applied to the question of how LST relates to NDBI. Based on the findings, we know that LST and NDBI have strong reciprocity (R2=0.867, 0.854, 0.947 for 1992, 2004 and 2021, respectively). Since the built-up area can be easily accessed from both NDBI and LST, this suggests that it is a large contributor to the urban heat island effect.
