Identifying enhanced urban heat island convection areas for Indianapolis, Indiana using space-borne thermal remote sensing methods

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) === Heat is one of the most important factors in our atmosphere for precipitation (thunderstorm) formation. Thermal energy from local urban land-cover is also a common source of heat in the lower atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as the ur...
