Global Urban Heat Island Intensity Dataset

<b>Global Urban Heat Island Intensity Dataset</b>A novel dynamic equal-area (DEA) method was proposed for UHII estimations. This method can minimize the influence of various confounding factors through a dynamic cyclic process and finally obtain the background reference area (BRA) with its size equal to the central urban area. Utilizing the DEA method and leveraging eight different temperature data, we developed a global-scale (&gt;10,000 cities), long-term (over 20 years by month), and multi-faceted (clear-sky surface, all-sky surface, and canopy) UHII dataset.
