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...
