NYC Urban Heat Portal: exploring urban heat data and how we built it

March 24 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Hybrid Hybrid Event
Free

In this presentation, we will introduce our recently developed urban heat portal for NYC. We will demonstrate how each layer in the heat portal is prepared. We used a variety of resources to prepare urban heat layers. They include:

  • Satellite data from Landsat 8 and 9
  • Weather Station Data from Visual Crossing
  • A variety of layers from City’s open data including Land Cover (Tree cover and permeable surface cover), NTA, Parks, buildings.

In this presentation, you will learn about the science of urban heat and the methods used for producing multiple layers that are publicly available for download. We will explain the workflow and the models that are developed to create Mean Radiant Temperature, Air Temperature, Heat Index, and an overall Outdoor Heat Exposure index.

This event will be hybrid.
