Surface Urban Heat Island is

Technology description

The SUHI (Surface Urban Heat Island) algorithmes evaluates urban heat islands by analyzing ground temperature data, generating an index from 0 to 100. Higher values indicate greater UHI exposure, pinpointing critical zones impacted by human activities like transportation and urbanization. This layer aids in healthcare, transportation planning, energy management, and retail location decisions, providing essential data for mitigating heat-related risks and optimizing infrastructure.

Surface Urban Heat Island

The Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) layer assesses the Urban Heat Island effect, highlighting urban areas that are warmer than their rural surroundings.

Surface Sun
Reflectivity (Albedo)

The Albedo layer measures surface reflectivity, indicating the percentage of sunlight that is reflected into space.

Heat Potential Risk

The Heatwave Risk map integrates temperature data (hazard), population demographics (exposure), and area morphology (vulnerability) to generate a risk index ranging from 0 to 100.

Park Cool Island

The Park Cool Islands (PCI) layer distinguishes urban parks based on their cooling effects, categorizing them into Major and Minor Cool Islands.

Microclimatic Performance Index

The Microclimatic Performance Index (MPI) evaluates the effectiveness of Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) in combating the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.

Carbon Storage

The Carbon Storage layer quantifies CO2 absorption by vegetation, offering a detailed view of nature's impact on atmospheric carbon reduction.

Tree CoverDensity

The Tree Cover Density (TCD) layer accurately depicts the percentage of an area covered by tree canopy, ranging from 0 to 100%.
