Landsat Land Surface Temperature (30m)

Landsat Land Surface Temperature (30m)

MH Subset Needed

Land surface temperature derived from Landsat 8/9 thermal bands at 30m resolution (resampled from 100m). Maharashtra subset enables urban heat island mapping for Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, and heat stress analysis across agricultural regions.

Build an urban heat island mapper for Maharashtra cities using Landsat thermal band surface temperature data.
Maharashtra subset not yet extracted. This is a global dataset that contains data covering Maharashtra. A regional subset can be extracted by filtering on geographic coordinates or administrative boundaries.
