Abstract

The article presents the most critical factors that affect the soil temperature, such as the effects of the canyon, anthropogenic heat, greenhouse effect, effective reflectivity, evaporating reduction and turbulent transfer of heat. Most of these factors can be found in the town of Mostar area. The simplest and the most widely used method of land surface temperature determination is processing of thermal channels satellite scenes. Landsat is the longest and most widely used satellite mission with open data. For the purposes of this study Landsat 5, 7 and 8 satellite scenes were used and open meteorological data from which the atmospheric correction was calculated, and then land surface temperature (LST) for the Mostar area. Three winter scenes were used (occurred in the colder part of year) and three summer scenes (occurred in the warmest part of the year). From all processed data can be concluded that Mostar can be considered as one of the warmest towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina and wider.
