Land surface temperature (LST) plays an important role in many land-surface processes on regional as well on global scales. It is also a good indicator of energy flux phenomena and is used as a parameter in various Earth observation related studies. However, LST estimation based on processing and utilisation of satellite derived data constitutes several problems in terms of time limitations, accessibility, atmospheric influence etc. The aim of the study was to verify and compare the algorithms especially in the context of minimalisation of errors in LST estimation by satellite observation using various means of GIS data processing and integration. Also, the indirect verification of the LST estimation methods, based on the utilisation of statistics and dependencies of LST, NDVI and air temperature values has been presented and discussed. The presented work has the form of a case study, and due to limited amount of verification data used in the current stage of the investigation, the results should be treated as preliminary. The developed GIS solution for integrating spatial data from many sources needed in the course of this study is also presented.
