Urban Greening Effect on Land Surface Temperature. [PDF]
Urbanization has accelerated the conversion of vegetated land to built-up regions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of urban park configuration on the Land Surface Temperature of the park and adjacent areas. In urban parks, the study

ISLAND: Interpolating Land Surface Temperature using land cover [PDF]
Cloud occlusion is a common problem in the field of remote sensing, particularly for retrieving Land Surface Temperature (LST). Remote sensing thermal instruments onboard operational satellites are supposed to enable frequent and high-resolution observations over land; unfortunately, clouds adversely affect thermal signals by blocking outgoing longwave

Spatially-optimized urban greening for reduction of population exposure to land surface temperature extremes. [PDF]
The population experiencing high temperatures in cities is rising due to anthropogenic climate change, settlement expansion, and population growth. Yet, efficient tools to evaluate potential intervention strategies to reduce population exposure to Land ...

THE LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE IMPACT TO LAND COVER TYPES [PDF]
Land cover type is an important signature that is usually used to understand the interaction between the ground surfaces with the local temperature. Various land cover types such as high density built up areas, vegetation, bare land and water bodies are ...

Global spatiotemporally continuous MODIS land surface temperature dataset. [PDF]
Land surface temperature (LST) plays a critical role in land surface processes. However, as one of the effective means for obtaining global LST observations, remote sensing observations are inherently affected by cloud cover, resulting in varying degrees

Bayesian Estimation for Land Surface Temperature Retrieval: The Nuisance of Emissivities [PDF]
An approach to the remote sensing of land surface temperature is developed using the methods of Bayesian inference. The starting point is the maximum entropy estimate for the posterior distribution of radiance in multiple bands. In order to convert this quantity to an estimator for surface temperature and emissivity with Bayes' theorem, it is necessary

Impact of urban land cover change on land surface temperature [PDF]
The rapid growth in urban population is seen to create a need for the development of more urban infrastructures. In order to meet this need, natural surfaces such as vegetation are been replaced with non-vegetated surfaces such as asphalt and bricks ...

Understanding decreases in land relative humidity with global warming: conceptual model and GCM simulations [PDF]
Climate models simulate a strong land-ocean contrast in the response of near-surface relative humidity to global warming: relative humidity tends to increase slightly over oceans but decrease substantially over land. Surface energy balance arguments have been used to understand the response over ocean but are difficult to apply over more complex land ...
