Today's cities are most likely to have rugged landscapes comprising high-rises and hilly areas. I am not sure how valid the remotely-sensed land surface temperature when not corrected for elevation. Any thoughts will be most welcome.
Assuming the data you speak of is gathered via a remote-sensing method that uses a sensor to detect long IR parts of the spectrum, than the data doesn't need to be corrected for elevation. Research thermography. What data are you talking about?
Hi Russell. Thanks for your input. Yes, I am talking about remotely-sensed land surface temperature (using Landsat). So, I need not to correct for elevation? To elaborate, I am trying to examine LST against several other variables; I want to make sure what I am measuring is the relationship between those variables and LST and elevation was not a confounding one here.
