A new perspective to assess the urban heat island through remotely sensed atmospheric profiles
2015-03-01
Abstract excerpt
The detection of urban heat island (UHI) is generally conducted from ground observations of air temperature and remote sensing of land surface temperature (LST). Satellite remotely sensed LST has many merits, such as global coverage and consistent periodicity, which overcomes the weaknesses of ground observations related to the footprint, site distributions, and costs. For human related studies and urban climatolo...
