One of the most important applications of satellite images is the use of it to determine and estimate the surface temperature of the earth. To investigate this, the Landsat 8 series was used to calculate and estimate the air temperature in the city of Isfahan and surrounding area. The surface of the earth's surface temperature (LST) was calculated using the Subrino window algorithm. The results showed that the use of this method on satellite images of Isfahan region, which covers a variety of urban areas, green spaces, and major industrial areas, shows the ability of this model and the proportion of these images for this purpose. The comparison of a temperature measured on the image and the temperature calculated in two of Ozone-metric and Airport stations in Isfahan shows a range of changes of about 4.5 degrees Celsius. However, the calculated temperature in four days of the year is more than the measured temperature at a depth of 5 cm in the soil at the site of the two Ozone-metric and Isfahan Airport stations and this value is at a maximum of 4.25 degrees Celsius above the station's temperature. The correlation relations between the LST surface temperature map and the normalized vegetation difference index (NDVI) at 9100 pixels of the area code with a correlation coefficient of 0.445 are confirmed at a confidence level of 99% Which confirmed the validity of the method used to estimate the surface temperature.
