Recently, scientific research paid attention on the air temperature increase of the urban cities. Many technologies were involved in order to identify the relationship among the air temperature and the affective factors. This research was aimed to build a prediction model of air temperature based on the field and remotely sensed data of Landsat 8 OLI. The model building consists of two factors, the first of which was a field measurement of air temperature for specified areas in Baghdad, Iraq. While the second factor was obtained using the remote sensing technology to calculate the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), Normalized difference water index (NDWI), Normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), and Land surface temperature (LST). Results of the multiple regression relationship among the measured factors reveals significant values that supports the model. The methodology of this study could be employed to help the environmental researchers to predict the air temperature in Baghdad city based on satellite data. We recommend applying the prediction model based on both seasons for the most significant results of air temperature measures, we also recommend evaluating this model on urban arid and cold climates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
