Monitoring of Air Temperature

폭염팀_air temperature monitoring.png

 

 

 

Urban air temperature is considered a significant variable for a variety of urban issues, and analyzing the spatial patterns of air temperature is important for urban planning and management. However, insufficient weather stations limit accurate spatial representation of temperature within a heterogeneous city. We aim to develop machine learning-based models to estimate urban maximum and minimum air temperature (Tmax and Tmin, respectively) using selected Land Surface Temperatures (LSTs)  and other satellite-derived data.

​​

The reliable and robust monitoring of air temperature distribution is essential for urban thermal environmental analysis. In this study, a stacking ensemble model consisting of multi-linear regression (MLR), support vector regression (SVR), and random forest (RF) optimized by the SVR is proposed to interpolate the Tmax during summertime in a mega urban area. This study demonstrates that the stacking ensemble method can improve the accuracy of spatial interpolation of environmental variables in various research fields.
