Abstract :
The authors employed side-looking airborne MSS data with high resolution to investigate the actual conditions of surface temperature distributions in an urban area with the complex ground surface form. In addition, airborne MSS and GIS data were used to calculate the HIP of various types of residential regions, and results verified its effectiveness for monitoring urban land use change and thermal environment
