Sentinel-3 Urban Heat Island Monitoring and analysis for Kyiv Based on Vector Data

Satellite data is one of the best sources of information to monitor and analyze the city state and the impact of urbanization on environmental aspects such as soil, water, land, and air pollution within the city. Urban Heath Island (UHI) is a zone in the city with the highest land surface temperature. These zones have a negative impact on the inhabitants comfort, ecological and energetic essential variables. One of the most common ways of detecting and analyzing thermal islands is based on the use of evening and night surface images and the difference in surface temperature in urban areas and adjacent areas. The research in this work is being primed using land surface classification maps, satellite LST products Sentinel-3 and the population density of Global Human Settlement Layer. Kyiv was chosen as study area and for this city urban heat island temperature dependence on building density, tree density and population density were analyzed.
