Thermal imagery of Denver bus stop in the afternoon displaying large variability in surface temperatures due to land cover types and shading. Tripods in center of image are recording wet and dry globe temperatures and windspeed. Combining fine-scale surface temperature data, with high-resolution land cover data, we can build a land cover regression to downscale Landsat thermal imagery for all metropolitan transit locations in Denver.
