Abstract

In the study of snow melt runoff, the temperature lapse rate (TLR) is an essential variable. For the Beas River Basin in the Western Himalayas, it has been approximated in the current study. In this work, the split-window (SW) technique for TLR estimate has been used to recover the land surface temperature (LST). LST in the study area has a negative correlation with elevation values, and the trend shows that LST and elevation have an inverse relationship, according to data from the United States Geological Survey's (USGS) advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (ASTER) and global digital elevation model (GDEM). The TLRs for the Beas River Basin region vary from 0.71°C/100 m to 0.87°C/100 m during the time period of 18 April 2013 to 27 June 2015. The findings were calculated using lapse rates calculated from maps produced by the moderate resolution image spectroradiometer (MODIS). There is excellent agreement between the MODIS-Terra data and the air temperature and LST from Landsat-8. The modelling of snow and glacier melt flow in the Himalayan region will benefit from the current work.
