Spatial and temporal variation of land surface temperature (LST) in the Kandy District of Sri Lanka

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2023
Abstract In Sri Lanka, there is a considerable increase in the average annual LST in the city of Colombo, and it might have occurred in the city of Kandy as well. Increases in LST can affect to many issues. Research on LST is useful for green city planning and policymaking for development in urban areas.

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Estimating and Monitoring the Land Surface Temperature (LST) Using Landsat OLI 8 TIRS

International Journal of Environment, Engineering and Education, 2021
Land Surface Temperature (LST) is average temperature of an element of the exact surface of the Earth calculated from measured radiance which depends on the albedo, the vegetation cover, and the soil moisture. Land Surface Temperature can affect human discomfort, health problem, higher energy bill and further reduce the habitability of urban and sub ...

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Characterising City Scale Heat Climatology for Australian Climate Zones

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Australian cities peaks at night, intensifying under dry conditions, clear skies, increased solar radiation, and low wind speeds. Long‐term observations show that nighttime temperatures in major cities have warmed faster than their rural surroundings and future climate projections fail to capture this disparity ...

Validation of the TIMELINE AVHRR Land Surface Temperature (LST) Product with MODIS and in situ LST [PDF]

, 2019
Land Surface Temperature (LST) is an important quantity describing the interface between long- and shortwave radiation fluxes on one side and turbulent heat fluxes and the ground heat flux on the other side. Therefore, it is a useful parameter for tracing the impact of changing climatic conditions on our environment.

Mapping Soil Salinity Prediction Enhanced by Time‐Series Remote Sensing Features

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gaining timely knowledge of soil salinity's spatiotemporal dynamics is crucial for accurate mapping. Through temporal span comparisons, this study systematically extracts and utilizes time‐series features (TSFs) derived from Sentinel‐2 and Landsat 8 NDVI and SAVI data (2019–2023) to enhance prediction accuracy. Three datasets were constructed:
