Average annual and seasonal Land Surface Temperature, Spanish Peninsular

Abstract

The first long-term Land Surface Temperature (LST) maps for the Peninsular Spain at annual and seasonal time scales for 1981-2015 is presented in this work. A robust protocol for correcting and calibrating NOAA-AVHRR images and computing LST datasets at the spatial resolution of 1.1 km has been used. Simultaneously, maximum air temperature (Tmax) maps at the same spatial resolution have been produced using data from meteorological stations. The comparison between the two datasets resulted in statistically significant spatial correlations at annual and seasonal scales. Finally, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data were also compared with the obtained LST datasets and the results showed significant negative correlations between the two variables, especially in summer.

Statistical Modeling for Land Surface Temperature in Borneo Island from 2000-2019

“…Several studies in Malaysia showed a similar pattern where temperature increases occurred near the end of the year (Ismail et al 2019). Similar results in areas with four seasons showed that the highest LST appeared during the summer between June-September (Khorchani et al 2018;Singh et al 2014).…”

“…2019). Similar results in areas with four seasons showed that the highest LST appeared during the summer between June-September(Khorchani et al 2018;Singh et al 2014). We found that the average land surface temperatures in Borneo island increased by 0.2 o C per decade, or 2 o C per century, and was lower than the increase of 3-5 °C per century predicted byTangang et al (2012).…”
