Temperature (1.0 MB JPEG)Vegetation (1.0 MB JPEG) As many urbanites know, summertime has its downside. The things we take for granted in cities—roads, sidewalks, brick buildings, and asphalt roofs—all intensify summer heat by trapping the Sun’s energy and remaining warm long after the Sun has set. This phenomenon has a name: urban heat island. In summer 2002, Stuart Gaffin of Columbia University and his colleagues used satellite temperature data, city-wide land cover maps, and weather data, along with a regional climate model to identify the best strategies for cooling Gaffin’s hometown, New York City.
As part of the study, the team used thermal infrared satellite data measured by NASA’s Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus on August 14, one of the hottest days in New York’s 2002 summer.
