LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE
Technology description
Land Surface Temperature (LST) layer provides precise temperature measurements at 10 meter spatial resolution, expressed in Celsius degrees (°C). This advanced data layer is generated using Latitudo 40's proprietary Machine Learning algorithms, which apply to Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery to effectively downscale the thermal information obtained from Landsat 8-9. This LST layer is ideal for applications requiring detailed surface temperature data, such as urban heat island analysis, agricultural monitoring, environmental research, and climate studies.
Uses scenario
Track and analyze urban heat islands to mitigate excessive heat in cities. By identifying hotspots, cities can implement cooling strategies like increasing green spaces and reflective surfaces to improve urban livability.
Optimize irrigation and crop management with accurate LST data. Farmers can use this data to efficiently manage water resources, monitor soil health, and enhance crop yields by adjusting practices based on temperature patterns.
Support climate studies by providing detailed temperature data over time. Researchers can track climate change, analyze long-term temperature trends, and contribute to academic research on environmental impacts and global warming.
Aid in predicting and managing heat-related disasters and wildfires. Accurate LST data helps in early detection of heat anomalies, allowing for timely resource allocation and risk mitigation strategies to protect communities and ecosystems.
Improve energy efficiency by understanding temperature patterns and demands. Energy planners can optimize cooling systems, reduce energy consumption, and plan sustainable infrastructure by leveraging detailed LST insights.
