Processed Landsat-8 images of the territory of the Republic of Tyva formed the basis for compiling a January temperature map for 2014–2017. The generated map demonstrates that thermal radiation intensity varies over the land surface with vegetation type and landscape. The cold period in the region is found to exhibit a specific feature ― temperature inversions arising after decrease of temperature in the surface layer. The temperature in the generated map varies from –13 to –38 °C. The temperature increases with height by 1 C every 100–120 m at the northern macroslopes and every 70–100 m on the southern macroslopes of the mountain ridges. Minimum temperatures (–35…–38 °C) are observed at the piedmont of the ridges and in the intermountain depressions (Ubsu-nur, Tyva and Todzha basins) at the heights of 650–1100 m above sea level. Maximum temperatures (–13…–23 °C) are observed at the heights of 1700–2200 m above sea level (subgoltsy-taiga altitudinal belt complex). The LST map data are compared with the ground data. This specifies and corrects the available information about correlation of the winter temperature of the landscape surface (LST) and the vegetation in the mountains.
Keywords: land surface temperature on January, Landsat-8 image, far infrared range, altitude mountain landscape
