Remotely-sensed Land Surface Temperature (LST) for the central Arizona region during summer months over five-year periods: 1985-2015

Publication date: 2019-11-07

Abstract:

This project calculates land surface temperature (LST) from remotely sensed imagery. LST is calculated from Landsat 5 and 8 imagery (30m resolution) from summer months in 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015.

Javascript code used to process LST imagery is included with this dataset.
