Environmental and anthropogenic drivers of surface urban heat island intensity: A case-study in the Yangtze River Delta, China

Nowadays urban climate is a global problem and many studies focused on understanding the relation between urban climate the built-up space using radiometric observations of the land surface temperature to estimate and monitor the surface urban heat island intensity (SUHIs). In this study MODIS land surface temperature (LST) data were used....
