Literature

ECOSTRESS land surface temperature distribution, kernel density estimation (KDE), 2020.08.03



NB. These KDEs were made from vectorized GeoTIFFs in QGIS. These distributions differ slightly compared to KDEs generated from the original data. Preliminary results: notable differences in LST distribution are observed in two adjacent cities, Atherton and North Fair Oaks, CA. The difference in tree cover appears to be a contributing factor.
