Anthropogenic Heat (AH) emissions modify the energy balance in urban areas and is crucial for urban microclimate modelling and improved weather forecast modelling. Therefore, the present study conducted on Delhi and its surroundings firstly aims to estimate AH using Earth Observation (EO) data of Landsat 8 then, evaluate the impact of detailed urban roughness parameterization on the estimation of AH and further validate the obtained flux values with ground based observations of Large Aperture Scintillometer (LAS) setup. The study has been conducted over three time periods for October 2017, March 2018 and June 2018 by processing six Landsat tiles.
