Abstract :
The use of remotely sensed data offers a potential objective method for assessment of urban heat islands. Several studies that utilized satellite derived data are reviewed and future prospects are presented. The use of satellite derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index data and the potential use of Defense Meteorological Satellite Program sensor data are reviewed in detail.
