Study reveals limits of using land surface temperature to explain heat hazards in Miami-Dade County

Summary

81% Informative

Study examines effectiveness of using land surface temperatures as proxies for surface air temperatures in subtropical , seasonally wet regions.

Scientists used satellite remote sensing data to explore how LST reflects human heat exposure in Miami-Dade County , Florida .

Study found LST data captured spatial distribution of heat across the county, notably highlighting presence of a surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect.

Using LST data to identify neighborhoods most at risk from heat may overlook the intensity of heat exposure in some areas.

This could result in inadequate or misdirected heat adaptation strategies.

Future research could explore how localized processes -- such as vegetation, water bodies, or urban materials -- affect surface energy balances and LST readings.
