The knowledge of the surface temperature is important to a range of issues and themese in earth sciences central to urban climatology, global environmental change and human-environment interactions. The study analyses land surface temperature (LST) estimation using temporal ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Themrmal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) datasets over National Capital Territory Delhi using the surface emissivity information at pixel level.
