Changing air temperature trends within urban regions deserve careful monitoring as they may reflect modifications in the thermal environment, including the development of an urban heat island. Air temperature fields need to be dense in order the state of the thermal environment to be adequately assessed; yet in most cases, the networks of ground measuring stations are sparse. This paper attempts to define the relationship between downscaled land surface temperature (LST) at resolution 1 km as deduced from MSG-SEVIRI satellite images, and air temperature (Tair) in the urban agglomeration of Athens, for varying land cover types. Polynomial regression and artificial neural networks are used to estimate Tair from LST at a particular time, whereas the LST values ... view moreĀ»
