Land Surface Temperatures (LST) for Barranquilla, Colombia from LandSat, 2000-2022

This dataset is part of the ESCALA (Study of Urban Health and Climate Change in Informal Settlements in Latin America) project that was funded by the Lacuna Fund of the Meridian Institute https://lacunafund.org/. The dataset consists of 270 raster images where each pixel has a LST value for a specific date. Original data are acquired at a spatial resolution of 120 m (Landsat 5), 60 m (Landsat 7) and 100 m (Landsat 8 and 9), and distributed at 30 m. Satellite imagery was processed in Google Earth Engine as follows. Images from the Landsat 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 collections were selected for the period of interest (2000-01-01 to 2022-12-31) with a maximum cloud cover of 20%. For each image, land surface temperature in °C was calculated from the thermal band (ST_B*) using the scaling parameters from the product guide, and a cloud and shadow mask was applied. The images were cropped to the urban perimeter area.
