Land Surface Temperature Assesment with Remote Sensing Method – example of the Split Metropolitan Area

Land surface temperature (LST) is very important parameter for large amount of Earth processes. We can obtain land surface temperature from satellite thermal data. The most important and longest satellite mission with thermal band capability and sufficient spatial resolution is Landsat mission. In this research, Landsat thermal channels 5, 7 and 8 have been used to determine LST along the metropolitan area of Split (from Trogir to Omiš). Obtained results will show the phenomenon of urban heat island (UHI), as the simultaneous effect of the intensive urbanization in city of Split metropolitan area and observed climate changes. The occurrence of UHI significantly affects the quality of life in the urban area, especially in the summer period.
