NASA Heat Product Guide

This practical guide introduces NASA satellite-derived surface temperature datasets that can aid local communities in assessing heat impacts at the state and local scales. Following a brief introduction to several sources of satellite data, reliability and appropriate uses of the data are addressed. For heat assessments, land use change and in situ data are also compared. Instructions on how to download data are also included. Information on how to analyze the data are available through other sources and depend upon preferred methodology.
