Abstract
The land surface temperature calculation is tedious as it requires different formulas for calculation. To estimate surface temperature the Thermal band can be used which consists of thermal data of demarcated location. The ArcGIS model builder is used for designing the Land Surface Temperature (LST) calculation toolbox, which involves all the steps and process used for LST calculation. The Landsat 8 images consists of two thermal band i.e., Band 10 and 11. The band 10 is used for analysis purpose due to less disturbance as suggested by United States Geological Survey (USGS). Along with thermal band two more bands are used red band 4 and near infrared band 5. For the calculation constant values are required which are collected from the metadata file supplied with the Landsat package. The results shows that the tool box is used for quick calculation of LST of any location. The results of LST tool and manual temperature shows positive agreement. This tool will help researchers on paying less attention on calculation part and more attention on research. The LST tool can be extended with incorporation of LST calculation for Landsat 5 and 7 images.
