    Yale Center for Earth Observation (YCEO) Surface Urban Heat Islands, Version 4, 2003-2018

    Metadata Updated: February 22, 2025

    The Yale Center for Earth Observation (YCEO) Surface Urban Heat Islands, Version 4, 2003-2018 includes annual, summertime, and wintertime Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) intensities for daytime and nighttime for over 10,000 global urban extents. This global SUHI data set was created using the Simplified Urban-Extent (SUE) algorithm and is available at the pixel and urban cluster-levels (i.e. at the level of larger urban agglomerations). Monthly composites are also available as urban cluster means. A summary of older versions, including changes from the data set created and analyzed in the originally published manuscript (Chakraborty and Lee, 2019) can be found on the YCEO Global Surface UHI Explorer website (https://yceo.yale.edu/research/global-surface-uhi-explorer).
