Surface Energy Balance

Urban Heat Islands Research

I was involved in research activities at Division of Climatology and Environment Application (BAKL), Center for Atmospheric and Climate Sciences - LAPAN in 2005, on the phenomenon of urban heat islands.

Using Landsat satellite data, several surface energy balance parameters are extracted to obtain information related to changing in land use which affecting surface temperatures increase in urban and rural areas.
