| Abstract | ||
| Recently Iraq experienced many environmental problems, caused by global climate changes. Therefore, it is important to monitor the real change in temperature. In order to achieve this goal, it requires a very large network of ground stations. MOD11A1 product is a tile of daily LST product (land surface temperature) at 1 km spatial resolution with a reasonable accuracy that needs to be improved. By a statistical model that relates ground truth temperature with result of LST from MODIS data it is possible to generate a correction algorithm. Lumping all daily average data of six Iraqi cities over three years a regression line that correlate، daily average truth ground temperature (TG) with daily average LST obtained from MODIS data. This correlation can be used to get a better estimation to the average daily truth temperature for any area within 1 km2 resolution in Iraq region for any given MODIS average daily LST of this area. | ||
