NSW Urban Heat Island to Modified Mesh Block 2016

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) dataset measures the effects of urbanisation on land surface temperatures across Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area for the Summer of 2015-2016. \r\nUHI shows the variation of temperature to a non-urban vegetated reference, such as heavily wooded areas or national parks around Sydney. \r\nDerived from the analysis of thermal and infrared data from Landsat satellite, the dataset has been combined with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Mesh Block polygon dataset to provide a mean UHI temperature that enables multi-scale spatial analysis of the relationship of heat to green cover.

城市热岛（Urban Heat Island, UHI）数据集针对2015-2016年夏季，量化分析了大悉尼都会区范围内城市化进程对地表温度的影响。
该数据集以悉尼周边植被茂密的林区或国家公园等非城市植被参考区域为基准，呈现了温度相较于该基准的变化幅度。
本数据集基于Landsat卫星的热红外数据分析所得，并与澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABS）的街区多边形数据集相结合，生成了平均UHI温度值，可支撑热环境与绿色覆盖之间关联的多尺度空间分析研究。
