The Trust for Public Land, Descartes Labs, USGS
This dataset was developed using proprietary Python code developed at The Trust for Public Land, running on the Descartes Labs platform through the Descartes Labs API for Python. The Descartes Labs platform allows for extremely fast retrieval and processing of imagery, which makes it possible to produce heat island data for all cities in the United States in a relatively short amount of time.
With nearly 14,000 cities represented, checking each city's heat island raster for quality assurance would be prohibitively time-consuming, so TPL checked a statistically significant sample size for data quality. The sample passed all quality checks, but there could be instances where the user finds errors in the data. TPL would appreciate feedback on these errors so that version 2 of the national UHI dataset can be improved. Please send feedback to pete.aniello@tpl.org.
