Positive or Negative? Urbanization‐Induced Variations in Diurnal Skin‐Surface Temperature Range Detected Using Satellite Data

Abstract Diurnal temperature range (DTR) is an important indicator for assessing the local climate change due to urbanization. Studies that focused on surface air temperature (SAT) have reported decreased DTR SAT in urban areas. However, this urbanization‐induced effect becomes more complex with regard to land skin‐surface temperature (LST), which is highly localized and extremely sensitive to land surface properties. We thus investigated the …
