N2 - <p><strong><u>OVERVIEW:</u></strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>- This repository contains datasets for calculating the daily maximum Urban Heat Island (UHImax) effect across Dutch urban areas. The methodology is based on the diagnostic equation developed by Theeuwes et al. (2017) for northwestern European cities. The datasets focus on municipalities with population densities exceeding 1,000 people per km².</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>- To support reproducibility, we provide detailed documentation that enable researchers to generate UHImax datasets for time periods other than 2023 (refer to the README.md for detailed documentation).</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong><u>DATASET SPECIFICATIONS:</u></strong></p><p><br></p><p>1) Urban Heat Island Maximum (UHImax) Dataset</p><ul><li class="ql-indent-1">- Format: GeoTIFF</li><li class="ql-indent-1">- Resolution: 5m</li><li class="ql-indent-1">- Units: K</li><li class="ql-indent-1">- Value Range: 0-10 K</li><li class="ql-indent-1">- Temporal Coverage: Summer 2023 (June 1 - Sept 31)</li><li class="ql-indent-1">- NoData Value: NA</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>2) Sky View Factor (SVF) Dataset</strong></p><ul><li class="ql-indent-1">- Format: GeoTIFF</li><li class="ql-indent-1">- Resolution: 5m</li><li class="ql-indent-1">- Value Range: 0-1 (0: completely obstructed; 1: completely unobstructed)</li><li class="ql-indent-1">- NoData Value: NA</li><li class="ql-indent-1">- Temporal Coverage: 2020-2022</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong><u>DATASET SPATIAL COVERAGE (99 Dutch municipalities) :</u></strong></p><p><br></p><p><em>Katwijk; Leiden; Leiderdorp; Lisse; Oegstgeest; Voorschoten; Zoetermeer; Teylingen; Leidschendam-Voorburg; 's-Gravenhage; Den Helder; Aalsmeer; Amstelveen; Amsterdam; Beverwijk; Diemen; Haarlem; Heemskerk; Heemstede; Uithoorn; Velsen; Zaanstad; Hillegom; Gooise Mere; Alkmaar; Heiloo; Hoorn; Purmerend; Stede Broec; Dijk en Waard; Amersfoort; Soest; Zeist; Nieuwegein; Blaricum; Hilversum; Huizen; Utrecht; Enkhuizen; Almere; Harderwijk; Urk; Arnhem; Wageningen; Westervoort; Zutphen; Veenendaal; Zwolle; Groningen; Almelo; Enschede; Hengelo (O.); Oldenzaal; Middelburg (Z.); Vlissingen; Maassluis; Westland; Maassluis; Westland; Alblasserdam; Barendrecht; Capelle aan den IJssel; Delft; Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht; Krimpen aan den IJssel; Ridderkerk; Rotterdam; Rijswijk (ZH.); Schiedam; Albrandswaard; Vlaardingen; Waddinxveen; Zwijndrecht; Lansingerland; Pijnacker-Nootdorp; Nissewaard; IJsselstein; Dordrecht; Gouda; Hardinxveld-Giessendam; Papendrecht; Sliedrecht; Breda; Tilburg; Culemborg; Tiel; Gorinchem; 's -Hertogenbosch; Eindhoven; Helmond; Veldhoven; Geldrop-Mierlo; Nijmegen; Roermond; Landgraaf; Brunssum; Heerlen; Kerkrade; Maastricht; Stein (L.); Sittard-Geleen.</em></p>
