Effect of Global Climate Change on Land Surface Temperature over Dubai, United Arab Emirates with the Aid of Landsat 8 Satellite Imagery

Global Atmospheric Analysis is based upon varies remote sensing techniques. One of the key factors for this kind of survey is Land Surface Temperature (LST). LST surveys are utilized for the development of predicted climate models, urban covered land-atmosphere, supervising vegetation and monitoring Global Warming. It gives us the data ranging from spatial to temporal variation for the land. Along with LST; Land Surface Emissivity is also a vital factor in surveys related to earth surface characteristics. These values are required to utilize in the method applied to this survey. Extensive possibilities for surveying the surface through remote sensing is provided by the LANDSAT series. The analysis of this survey is based upon the images taken of Dubai and it is achieved by utilizing Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIS) and Operation Line Imager (OLI) satellite sensor records. Thermal band images obtained from LANDSAT 8 are processed in QGIS software by using band 10 data.
