Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Land surface temperature (LST) is a measure of the heating of the land surface and is distinct from air temperature. It is typically measured using remote sensing techniques such as satellite imagery, and can provide important information about land use and land cover changes, as well as climate variability and change. LST can differ from air temperature due to factors such as vegetation cover, soil moisture, and other surface properties.
