Land surface temperature assessment in semi-arid residential area of Tehran, Iran using Landsat imagery

Land cover change especially from green areas to urban areas may increase land surface temperature (LST). In this study, Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) on 15 May 2000 (spring), 9 July 2000 (summer), 26 November 2000 (autumn) and 10 January 2001(winter) were utilized to study LST in Teh...
