Journal ArticleDOI
Remote sensing of the urban heat island effect across biomes in the continental USA
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a spatial analysis to assess the urban heat island (UHI) skin temperature amplitude and its relationship to development intensity, size, and ecological setting for 38 of the most populous cities in the continental United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of NDVI and Land Surface Temperature for Drought Assessment: Merits and Limitations
Arnon Karnieli,Nurit Agam,Rachel T. Pinker,Martha C. Anderson,Marc L. Imhoff,Garik Gutman,Natalya Panov,Alexander Goldberg +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the generality of the LST-NDVI relationship over a wide range of moisture and climatic/radiation regimes encountered over the North American continent (up to 60°N) during the summer growing season (April-September) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns in human consumption of net primary production
Marc L. Imhoff,Lahouari Bounoua,Lahouari Bounoua,Taylor H. Ricketts,Taylor H. Ricketts,Colby Loucks,Robert C. Harriss,William T. Lawrence +7 more
TL;DR: The uneven footprint of human consumption and related environmental impacts are revealed, the degree to which human populations depend on net primary production ‘imports’ is indicated and policy options for slowing future growth are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Technique for Using Composite DMSP/OLS "City Lights"Satellite Data to Map Urban Area
TL;DR: In this paper, a thresholding technique was used to convert a prototype "city lights" data set from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Geophysical Data Center (NOAAINGDC) into a map of "urban areas" for the continental United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
