Regarding Some Pitfalls in Urban Heat Island Studies Using Remote Sensing Technology
Remote Sensing, 2021 This paper attempts to illustrate the complexity of thermal infrared (TIR) data analysis for urban heat island studies. While a certain shift regarding the use of correct scientific nomenclature (using the term “surface urban heat island”) could be ...
