Use of Satellite Remote Sensing in Support of Urban Heat Island Studies
Since the early 1960s, numerous satellite sensors have been launched into orbit to observe and monitor the Earth and its environment. Over the years technologies have significantly improved and satellite missions have increased; more importantly perceptions have changed in terms of the potential and usability of satellite remote sensing. One of the application areas of satellite remote sensing is the study of urban areas. This review provides information about the potential of satellite remote sensing for the study of urban climatology, and in particular the surface urban heat island phenomenon.
