They play an important role in hydrosphere research, and one of the most frequently addressed issues in the era of climate change is the thermal dynamics of its components. Interesting research opportunities in this area are provided by the utilization of data obtained from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS). These data have been collected for over two decades and have already been used to study water temperature in lakes. In the case of Poland, there is a long history of studying the thermal regime of lakes based on in situ observations, but so far, MODIS data have not been used in these studies. In this study, the available products, such as 1-day and 8-day MODIS land surface temperature (LST), were validated. The obtained data were compared with in situ measurements, and the reliability of using these data to estimate long-term thermal changes in lake waters was also assessed. The analysis was conducted based on the example of two coastal lakes located in Poland. The results of 1-day LST MODIS generally showed a good fit compared to in situ measurements (average RMSE 1.9 \u00b0C). However, the analysis of long-term trends of water temperature changes revealed diverse results compared to such an approach based on field measurements. This situation is a result of the limited number of satellite data, which is dictated by environmental factors associated with high cloud cover reaching 60% during the analysis period.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16152727","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]],"date-time":"2024-07-25T14:31:07Z","timestamp":1721917867000},"page":"2727","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["How Useful Are Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Observations for Inland Water Temperature Monitoring and Warming Trend Assessment in Temperate Lakes in Poland?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1453-0374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariusz","family":"Sojka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Land Improvement, Environmental Development and Spatial Management, Pozna\u0144 University of Life Sciences, Pi\u0105tkowska 94E, 60-649 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1225-1686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariusz","family":"Ptak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hydrology and Water Management, Adam Mickiewicz University, Krygowskiego 10, 61-680 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9718-3920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Szyga-Pluta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Meteorology and Climatology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Krygowskiego 10, 61-680 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2803-5419","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Senlin","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Hydraulic Science and Engineering, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Tariq, A., Shu, H., Kuriqi, A., Siddiqui, S., Gagnon, A.S., Lu, L., Linh, N.T.T., and Pham, Q.B.
