Daytime cooling efficiencies of urban trees derived from land surface temperature are much higher than those for air temperature

Accurately capturing the impact of urban trees on temperature can help optimize urban heat mitigation strategies. Recently, there has been widespread use of remotely sensed land surface temperature ( T _s ) to quantify the cooling efficiency (CE) of urban trees. However, remotely sensed T _s reflect...
