Abstract :
Shows the use of geographical information and mapping of multi-temporal ground surface temperature distributions for a wide city area; this is compared with LANDSAT-5 Thematic Mapper data. Ground surface temperatures are measured by a portable infrared thermometer at the overpass times of LANDSAT-5. Variations of surface temperatures over 24 hours at intervals of one hour on summer days are drawn. The classification of land use corresponds with land cover, and the applied measured surface temperatures to land use data. Ground surface temperature distribution maps are drawn. The distribution map from LANDSAT data is compared with one using geographical information, and its effectiveness is investigated
