Abstract
The present study assesses the seasonal variation of land surface temperature (LST) and the relationship between LST and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) on different types of land use/land cover (LULC) in Raipur City of India using 119 Landsat images of pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon and winter seasons from 1988 to 2019. The results show that the highest LST is found in the bare lands and built-up areas, whereas the lowest LST is observed in the green vegetation. The LST-NDVI correlation is strong negative in the monsoon (−0.51) and post-monsoon (−0.50) seasons, moderate negative (−0.46) in the pre-monsoon season and weak negative (−0.24) in the winter season. The different LULC types largely influence the nature and strength of the LST-NDVI correlation. The correlation is strong negative (−0.60) on green vegetation, moderate negative (−0.35) on the built-up area and bare land and nonlinear on the water bodies.
