title: Spatialization of near-surface air temperature and updating based on thermal infrared remote sensing information in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

description: Project: Heat Island Intensity Prediction in an Intelligent Sponge Urban System in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau - The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known for its high altitude, cold climate, and fragile ecosystem, presents unique challenges and opportunities for the implementation of an intelligent sponge urban system. The heat island effect, a phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures compared to surrounding rural areas, can be particularly problematic in such a sensitive environment. Predicting and mitigating heat island intensity is crucial for improving urban livability and environmental sustainability. 
This project provides a robust framework, combining advanced data collection, feature extraction, and machine learning. 

Summary: The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known for its high altitude, cold climate, and fragile ecosystem, presents unique challenges and opportunities for the implementation of an intelligent sponge urban system. The heat island effect, a phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures compared to surrounding rural areas, can be particularly problematic in such a sensitive environment. Predicting and mitigating heat island intensity is crucial for improving urban livability and environmental sustainability.
To develop a procedure for predicting heat island intensity in an intelligent sponge urban system, ensuring accurate and real-time predictions through a series of steps. Collect parameter information of the underlying surface using meteorological observation data from the sponge city, field observation data, and investigation data of the sponge city. Gather comprehensive data on the physical and environmental characteristics of the urban surface. Establish a set of digital labels with feature data derived from the collected information. Add the labeled data to the training sample set for the prediction model of sponge city surface heat island intensity. A crucial input for establishing a real-time prediction model. Train the prediction model function for sponge city surface heat island intensity using the data. 

This Experiment contains 2 datasets, corrected surface air temperature data and training data. The corrected surface air temperature data has been processed using meteorological observation data and thermal infrared remote sensing data. The data covers a high-altitude area of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with a spatial resolution of 30 meters. The original temperature data were obtained from multiple sources, including thermal infrared remote sensing data from Landsat 8(L8) and Landsat 9 (L9) Collection 2 (C2) Level 2 (L2) products, as well as ground station measurements from National Tibetan Plateau/Third Pole Environment Data Center. The regression algorithms in supervised learning was trained to correct for biases and inaccuracies in updating the spatialized data of near-surface air temperature. This dataset is suitable for climate research, environmental monitoring, and other applications requiring relatively accurate surface air temperature data.
