Anthropogenic land cover types greatly influence the urban heat island (UHI) effects. This study examined effects of composition and spatial pattern of anthropogenic land cover features on land surface temperature (LST) in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, using a land cover map derived from high resolution satellite data and ASTER LST data. The spatial pattern of land cover features was measured by local Moran's...
Urban areas are generally several degrees hotter than surrounding rural areas, which is referred to as the urban heat island effect. Understanding the spatial pattern of land surface temperature (LST) in cities is important for urban planning, heat mitigation, and air pollution studies. This study developed five models to compare how land cover classes, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI),...
