The relationship between land surface temperature and water index in the urban area of a tropical city

Abstract

This study investigated the pattern of urban heat island changes based on the relationship between land surface temperature and the water index in Banda Aceh City for 1998 and 2018. Landsat TM 1998 and Landsat OLI-TIRS 2018 were used in this study, which represents the conditions before and after the tsunami. Analysis of data used Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS). The Land Surface Temperature (LST) was negatively related to the normalized difference water index (NDWI).
