Evaluating the Effects of Urbanization Evolution on Air Temperature Trends Using Nightlight Satellite Data

Evaluating the Effects of Urbanization Evolution on Air Temperature Trends Using Nightlight Satellite Data

Confounding factors like urbanization and land-use change could introduce uncertainty to the estimation of global temperature trends related to climate change. In this work, we introduce a new way to investigate the nexus between temporal trends of temperature and urbanization data at the global sca...
