PhD student Wei Chen, presents Iowa UrbanFEWS work at the INFEWS PI Workshop on Feb 10.

Title:  Estimating the diurnal cycle of land surface temperature by integrating weather model with satellite observations.

Presentation description: Participants in this well-attended workshop learned how to estimate meteorological variables at high spatiotemporal resolutions. Integrating weather research and forecasting model and remotely sensed observations, we estimated land surface temperature at a 1 km resolution and hourly scale in the urban and surrounding areas of Polk County, IA. Then, using the generated dataset, we analyzed spatiotemporal patterns of land surface temperature in the study area.
