Annual SUHI intensity from MeanLST in 50 cities of CONUS from 1985 to 2020
Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) intensity data is intended to quantify the difference between urban surface temperatures and the surrounding non-urban environment. The calculation takes the difference between a specific urban pixel’s maximum land surface temperature (MeanLST) and the mean of the cities non-urban MeanLST. Data are provided across 50 regions throughout the Continental U.S. using previously generated annual MeanLST – derived from Collection 1 Landsat U.S. Analysis Ready Data (ARD) for Surface Temperature. The data ranges from 1985-2020, and covers data within 5 km of each city. NOTE: While a previous version is available from the author, all datasets for pilot cities can be found in version 5.0.
