This work is devoted to the validation of land surface temperature (LST) values calculated using various LST restoring algorithms based on the TIRS/Landsat-8 radiometer data by comparing them with the ground-based measurements. A modification of an existing LST calculation algorithm is proposed with the help of an alternative method of emission coefficient calculation. It is shown that the proposed algorithm provides the best agreement with the ground-based measurements. Analysis of the long-term dynamics of the temperature regime has been performed for irrigated and post-irrigated soils of the Chui intermountain basin (Altai Republic) using the Landsat data and the proposed modification of the algorithm. Cartograms of the LST values distribution have been developed for key areas of the Chui basin using the multi-temporal Landsat images since 1989 till 2022. A significant correlation has been revealed between the LST values and the values of the normalized difference moisture index (NDMI), and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for the studied irrigated areas of the Chui basin. The maximum values of the correlation coefficients are 0.87 for the NDMI moisture index, as well as for the NDVI vegetation index, and fall in the period when the irrigation systems operate at full capacity. It is revealed that if the irrigation systems operate, this leads to a significant change in distribution of the LST values both for the entire basin of Chui and for the key areas of the irrigation zone.
Keywords: validation, land surface temperature, LST, Landsat, soil temperature regime, irrigation systems, Chui intermountain basin
