Island (UHI) Data Set, 2013, part of the Satellite-Derived Environmental
Indicators collection, estimates the average land surface temperature within
urban areas in degrees Celsius (summer daytime maximum and nighttime minimum),
as well as the difference between those temperatures and the temperatures in
surrounding rural areas, defined as a 10km buffer around the urban extent.
Urban extents are taken from SEDAC's Global Rural-Urban Mapping Project,
Version 1 (GRUMPv1), and land surface temperatures are taken from SEDAC's
Global Summer Land Surface Temperature (LST) Grids, 2013, which are derived
from the Aqua Level-3 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)
Version 5 global daytime and nighttime LST 8-day composite data (MYD11A2).</span><span style='font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;'></span></p>
