Developing an annual land surface temperature from 1985 to present for select international sites: First Outputs
Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) land surface temperature (LST) data is derived from Landsat thermal band. The LST including annual mean LST (MeanLST) and annual maximum LST (AVEMaxLST). The annual mean LST (MeanLST) therefore represents the average of all clear observations in a specific year. The seasonal maximum temperatures were then averaged to represent the annual mean maximum LST (AVEMaxLST) for a specific pixel. Data are provided across two international urban centers (regions), which including Wuhan, China and Brasilia, Brazil, derived from Landsat Collection 2 for LST. The data ranges from 1985-2023, and covers data within 5 km of each city.
