Abstract: 
The model and the special application software for evaluation of land surface temperature by remote sensing in a thermal infrared band are developed. The model takes into account the atmosphere effect and land surface thermal emissivity. For the evaluation of the model’s accuracy, the ground temperature measurements using portable pyrometer were conducted simultaneously with the satellite imaging of the studied area. The obtained temperature maps help to detect objects that deliver considerable heat load on the environment, to estimate the distribution and dynamics of special effects such as “heat islands” and to develop a strategy on mitigation the negative effects of urban environment heat pollution.
Keywords: emissivity, ground truth measurements., physical temperature, satellite imagery, thermal field
