Abstract:

Earth's surface temperature is an important parameter to be considered in a variety of issues such as settlement, agriculture, tourism, industry, water resources, disaster risk. Due to many factors, it changes rapidly at short distances, it is not easy to calculate the surface temperature by ground methods. Typically, surface temperature calculations are performed by using remote detection techniques to analyze the thermal bands of satellite systems. In this study the aim is to calculate the surface temperature throughout the Hatay lake using the thermal image of remote detection, linking to the surface shapes and land coverage.

The work is 24.08. The Landsat 8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) and TIRS (Thermal Infrared Sensor), taken in 2020, calculated the surface temperature from the Band4, Band5 and Band10 data, revealed the relationship with the surface shapes and the different land cover features.

According to the results obtained in the study, the surface temperature has been found to change as a compound of many factors. In terms of land shapes, especially the maintenance factor is on the forefront, the values are increasing in the southeastern edges and flat areas. Lithological units have seen increased values in volcanic rocks such as basalt. The lake, such as the flow of waters and the areas covered with forest coverage have found that the surface temperature of the ground is lowered. In agricultural areas, the land has been planted or not, and in the areas that have been planted, the values have changed in short distances according to the type of product and the level of cultivation. In the settlement areas, the intensity and compactness of the buildings, the type of material used, are determining the values of the factors.
