Satellite and Ground-Based Sensors for the Urban Heat Island Analysis in the City of Rome
In this work, the trend of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) of Rome is analyzed by both ground-based weather stations and a satellite-based infrared sensor. First, we have developed a suitable algorithm employing satellite brightness temperatures for the estimation of the air temperature belonging to the layer of air closest to the surface. UHI spatial characteristics have been assessed using air te...
متن کاملInvestigation of Urban Air Temperature and Humidity Patterns during Extreme Heat Conditions Using Satellite-Derived Data
Extreme heat is a leading cause of weather-related human mortality. The urban heat island (UHI) can magnify heat exposure in metropolitan areas. This study investigates the ability of a new MODIS-retrieved near-surface air temperature and humidity dataset to depict urban heat patterns over metropolitan Chicago, Illinois, during June–August 2003–13 under clear-sky conditions. A self-organizing m...
متن کاملIntegrating Ground and Aerial Views for Urban Site Modeling
3D models of urban sites with good geometry and facade textures are needed for many planning and visualization applications. Approximate wireframe can be derived from aerial images but detailed textures must be obtained from ground level images. Integrating such views with the 3D models is difficult as only small parts of buildings may be visible in a single view. We describe a method that uses...
متن کاملImproving GCM Aerosol Climatology using Satellite and Ground-Based Measurements
A physically based aerosol climatology is essential to address the questions of global climate changes. We use available satellite and ground-based measurements, i.e., moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), multiangle imaging spectroradiometer (MISR), Polarization and Directionality of the earth’s Reflectance (POLDER), advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR), and Aeroso...
متن کاملNetwork optimization for enhanced resilience of urban heat island measurements
The urban heat island is a well-known phenomenon that impacts a wide variety of city operations. With greater availability of cheap meteorological sensors, it is possible to measure spatial patterns of urban atmospheric characteristics with greater resolution. To develop robust and resilient networks, recognizing sensors may malfunction, it is important to know when measurement points are provi...
