Literature

ECOSTRESS land surface temperature distribution, kernel density estimation (KDE), 2020.08.03



NB. These interactive KDEs were made from vectorized GeoTIFFs in QGIS. These distributions differ compared to KDEs generated from the original data, which are the most accurate (pdf). Preliminary results: Substantial differences in land surface temperature distributions (Δ median ≈ 6.4° C ≈ 11.5° F) were observed in two adjacent cities – Atherton and North Fair Oaks, CA – on August 3, 2020. Differences in tree cover between the two cities appear to be a major contributing factor. North Fair Oaks land parcels (8 MB)
