However, with the rapid expansion of urban construction land, the population density and building density have been greatly increased, resulting in the urban heat island effect, which has negative impact on the urban thermal environment and restricts the high-quality development of urbanization. This paper focuses on how the urban surface thermal environment of Hangzhou changes in 20 years. In this paper, the characteristics of land surface temperature (LST) in Hangzhou urban area from 2000 to 2020 were studied by using Landsat images. The radiative transfer equation method is used to retrieve the land surface temperature, and the retrieval results are analyzed.
