Annual SUHI Landsat collection 2 AVEMaxLST in 71 urban centers of CONUS from 1985 to 2023

Description

Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) maximum land surface temperature (AVEMaxLST) data is derived from Collection 2 Landsat U.S. Analysis Ready Data (ARD) for Surface Temperature. We calculated the maximum temperature was identified from all clear observations in each seasons. The seasonal maximum temperatures were then averaged to represent the annual mean maximum LST (AVEMaxLST) for a specific pixel. Data are provided across 71 urban centers (regions) throughout the Continental U.S. generated annual AVEMaxLST. The data ranges from 1985-2023, and covers data within all ARD tiles that the urban center is located. NOTE: While a previous version is available from the author, all datasets for pilot cities can be found in previous versions.
