Description: The urban heat island (UHI) effect resulting from rapid urbanization generally has a negative impact on urban residents. Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province in China, was selected to assess surface thermal patterns and its correlation with Land Cover Types (LCTs). This study was conducted using Landsat TM images on the mesoscale level and airborne hyperspectral thermal images on the… more

Description: With the development of quantitative remote sensing, regional evapotranspiration (ET) modeling based on the feature space has made substantial progress. Among those feature space based evapotranspiration models, accurate determination of the dry/wet lines remains a challenging task. This paper reports the development of a new model, named DDTI (Determination of Dry line by Thermal Inertia), which… more

Contributors: Li, Zhao-Liang, Liu, Suhua, Rong, Yuan, Su, Hongbo, Tian, Jing, Zhang, Renhua
Description: This paper presents a method of estimating regional distributions of surface air
temperature (Ta) and surface vapor pressure (ea), which uses remotely-sensed data and
meteorological data as its inputs. The method takes into account the effects of both local
driving force and horizontal advection on Ta and ea. Good correlation coefficients (R2) and
root mean square error (RMSE) between the… more
