Optimizing Green Space–Type Placement to Maximize Overall Land Surface Temperature Reduction
… performed analysis of the direct and indirect land surface temperature benefits of neighboring green spaces but did not factor in varying green space types or budget constraints. Optimal green space–type placement can reduce land surface temperature, increase surface permeability, and increase …

Estimating diurnal patterns of land surface temperature using vision transformers and satellite images
… wide range of environmental processes including temperature variation, evapotranspiration, and soil thermal dynamics. Land surface temperature (LST), one of the 54 Essential Climate Variables defined by the Global Climate Observing System, serves as a central parameter in climatological, …

Estimation of turbulent surface heat fluxes using sequences of remotely sensed land surface temperature
Fluxes of heat and moisture at the land-surface play a significant role in the climate system. These fluxes interact with the overlying atmosphere and influence the characteristics of the planetary boundary layer (e.g. temperature and water vapor content), ultimately influencing the presence and …

Modeling Extreme Heat Risk in Urban Areas Using Computer Vision and Data Analysis
… Urban areas suffer the effects of urban heat islands, which exacerbate the temperature rise from extreme heat events because they have more paved surfaces, less vegetation, and more heat created from human activities. As a result, heat risk modeling aims to reduce heat risk for vulnerable …

AN INVESTIGATION OF REMOTELY SENSED URBAN HEAT ISLAND CLIMATOLOGY
Satellite remotely sensed temperatures are widely used for urban heat island (UHI) studies. However, the abilities of satellite surface and atmospheric data to assess the climatology of UHI face many unknowns and challenges. This research addresses the problems and potential for satellite remotely …
