Urban Heat Island Effect: Remote Sensing Monitoring and Assessment—Methods, Applications, and Future Directions

This study systematically reviews the development and application of remote sensing technology in monitoring and evaluating urban heat island (UHI) effects. The urban heat island effect, characterized by significantly higher temperatures in urban areas compared to surrounding rural regions, has beco...
