Correlation Analysis of Urban Land Surface Temperature and Fluxes Based on Remote Sensing Technology

Land surface temperature and fluxes (soil heat flux, sensible heat flux and latent heat flux) of the Nanchong city in Sichuan Province on Sept 20, 2007, were retrieved using Landsat ETM+ images. Based on sampling points in the study area, the surface temperature and each flux were compared with scat...

Summary:Land surface temperature and fluxes (soil heat flux, sensible heat flux and latent heat flux) of the Nanchong city in Sichuan Province on Sept 20, 2007, were retrieved using Landsat ETM+ images. Based on sampling points in the study area, the surface temperature and each flux were compared with scatter diagram, and simulated the function to explore their correlation. The research results show that land surface temperature had positively correlation with both soil heat flux and sensible heat flux, but negatively correlation with latent heat flux. The surface temperature was absolutely affected by sensible heat flux.
