Diurnal Air–Surface Temperature Dynamics in Hong Kong: An Analysis Across Land Use and Climate Zones

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 6, May 2026.
Daytime and nighttime air temperature (T a) from automatic weather stations and land surface temperature (T s) derived from ASTER and Landsat 8–9 are used to examine the relationship between T a and T s. The spatial and statistical characteristics of T a − T s dynamics are further analysed across land use (LU) and local climate zones (LCZ).
