Abstract  Land Surface Temperature(LST)is an important parameter in land surface energy budget.In order to improve the accuracy of LST retrieval by remote sensing methods in summer in urban districts of Chongqing with hot and humid atmosphere condition.an improved methodology was presented with the improved atmospheric transmittance estimated on MODTRAN software using the atmospheric profile data of MERRA in urban districts of Chongqing.LST was retrieved from Landsat 8 TIRS band 10 data using single-window algorithm which apply the improved and unimproved atmospheric transmittance respectively.Then the retrieved LST was compared with the 0 cm soil temperatures observedby 4 meteorological stations.Finally,the spatial heterogeneity of LST was analyzed.The result indicated that:(1)The scheme proposed in this paper can improve LST retrieval in summer in urban districts of Chongqing.The Mean Absolute Error(MAE)decrease from 4.89 K to 1.73 K.(2)The retrieved LST has spatial heterogeneity with different terrain factors.Its lapse rate is about 1.17 K/100 m.It decreases with the increase of slope.Moreover,it has obvious differences with aspect.The flat slope>sunny slope>semi-sunny slope>semi-shady slope>shady slope.There also existed highly significant correlation between the LST and hill shade.The LST increases with the decrease of hill shade.(3)Influenced by land cover,the spatial distribution of LST showed significant differences.The average LST inthe built\|up area is highest,while the wet land is lowest.The difference of average LST in other land cover types is little.
