Urban Heat MiniCubes: An AI-Ready dataset for urban heat research
Researchers have introduced "Urban Heat MiniCubes," a new dataset designed to facilitate machine learning applications in urban heat research. This publicly available dataset offers harmonized data cubes for 48 cities, spanning 2022-2023, with variables pre-aligned to reduce preprocessing efforts. It integrates data from multiple satellite sources, including Landsat, Sentinel-1, and GOES-R, to provide a comprehensive view of urban thermal environments. AI
IMPACT Provides a standardized dataset to accelerate AI-driven research into urban heat island effects.
