This global SUHI data set was created using the Simplified Urban-Extent (SUE) algorithm and is available at the pixel and urban cluster-levels (i.e. at the level of larger urban agglomerations). Monthly composites are also available as urban cluster means. A summary of older versions, including changes from the data set created and analyzed in the originally published manuscript (Chakraborty and Lee, 2019) can be found on the YCEO Global Surface UHI Explorer website (https://yceo.yale.edu/research/global-surface-uhi-explorer). Purpose: To provide global estimates of the surface urban heat island intensity from monthly, seasonal, to annual scales for over 10,000 urban clusters developed using a simplified urban-extent algorithm.
