Solar radiation incident on the urban surface is absorbed (by construction materials such as concrete, asphalt and cement) and then transformed to sensible heat. When the incoming short wave radiation strikes the surface, some portion of it is absorbed and emitted from the surface and the lower layers of air and clouds. The absorbed and later emitted radiation is called the long-wave radiation
Retrieval of surface brightness temperature: Digital Numbers (DN) of band 6 converted to radiance and then the effective at satellite temperature
Landsat has only a single window for thermal data it is difficult to obtain emissivity directly for TM / ETM data without using other spectral bands and/or ancillary data and assumptions (Li et. al 2004).
spatial distribution of the UHI encompassed both the City area and its surrounding suburbs. similar to the big City areas, smaller urban or suburban settings can also produce noticeable thermal effects when compared with surrounding rural environment.
