Daytime land surface temperature for Wichita, Kansas summer 2017-2022, retrieved through Landsat 8 TIRS and Landsat 9 TIRS-2 surface temperature. Located in the northwest corner of the city, this image depicts higher temperatures through dark orange hues in developed areas, and lighter orange hues to blue colors where the temperature is lower. The land surface temperature was utilized to construct a heat vulnerability index for the city, looking into disproportionate impacts on underserved communities.
