Ground heat of geothermal
energy is defined as hot water, steam or gas under pressure accumulated in the
depths of the earth's crust. At the same time, geothermal energy is a
sustainable, renewable, inexhaustible, natural energy source. Geothermal areas
are reservoirs formed by the warming of the water in the rocks. Depending on
the depth of the reservoirs, the temperature of the waters can vary with the
ground surface temperature. Our country is very rich in geothermal energy and
uses geothermal energy in many areas. For example, electrical power generation,
heating of houses and greenhouses, thermal facilities (health tourism) and the
like. Land surface temperature is a very important data for many studies. Especially
in regions where the surface temperature is higher than the average surface
temperature, the surface temperature of the land is analyzed with the help of
thermal images obtained from satellites and surface temperature models of these
regions are produced. Terrain surface temperature models are generated from the
thermal bands of Sentinel satellite images. The Sentinel 3A satellite launched
by the European Space Agency (ESA) into orbit makes it possible to directly
determine the temperature change of the ocean and land surface thanks to the
LST band. The surface temperature increase of Sentinel 3 images obtained at
certain time intervals between the periods determined by using the Sentinel
Application Platform (SNAP) was examined and the data obtained were analyzed.
In this study, thermal bands of Sentinel satellite images were used to
determine the land surface temperature of the geothermal area located near
Kestanbol village of Ezine district of Çanakkale province. The obtained
satellite images were analyzed using the Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP)
software, and the temperature changes of the land surface at certain time
periods were analyzed and the data obtained were analyzed. Land surface
temperature maps of the geothermal area were created with ArcGIS software.
