Satellite Remote Sensing of Surface Urban Heat Islands: Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives

The surface urban heat island (SUHI), which represents the difference of land surface temperature (LST) in urban relativity to neighboring non-urban surfaces, is usually measured using satellite LST data. Over the last few decades, advancements of remote sensing along with spatial science have consi...
