Long-term composited land surface temperature for the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA, metropolitan area and the surrounding Sonoran desert derived from annual and seasonal Landsat imagery, 1998 to 2023

This data package consists of multiple decades of land surface temperature (LST) raster data across the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (CAP LTER) study area within metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona (USA), temporally aggregated by year and by four meteorological seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). We derived LST values based on the thermal band from annual and seasonal composites of 30-m resolution Landsat 5-9 Level-2 Surface Reflectance imagery. All imagery retrieval and data processing were completed with Google Earth Engine (Gorelick et al. 2017) and program R. A complete description of data processing methods, including the aggregation of imagery by year and season and the calculation of the spectral index, can be found in the data package metadata (see 'Methods and Protocols') and accompanying Javascript code. ### citations: - Gorelick N, Hancher M, Dixon M, et al.

Urban Heat and Desert Wildlife: Rodent Body Condition Across a Gradient of Surface Temperatures in the greater Phoenix, Arizona (USA) metropolitan area (2019-2020)

We live-trapped wild rodents from seven field sites spanning three strata of land-surface temperatures in the Phoenix, Arizona (USA) metropolitan area. We captured 116 adult pocket mice (Chaetodipus spp. and Perognathus spp.) and Merriam’s kangaroo rats (Dipodomys merriami) during 2019 and 2020 from mountainous urban parks and open spaces. Animal body condition was quantified as percent body fat (i.e., fat mass divided by body mass). We used a noninvasive quantitative magnetic resonance instrument to measure body condition.

Near-surface, soil, and air temperature data acquired across multiple locations on the San Joaquin Experimental Range, California, 2011-2017

These temperature records were collected as part of a larger study relating microclimates to tree seedling survival in southern California mountains. These temperature records are for studies at the San Joaquin Experimental Range (Lat 37.083, Long -119.716, elevation 210-520 m, www.fs.fed.us/psw/ef/san_joaquin/). Temperature sensors were located at 23 sites across the landscape. Sites were selected to sample topographic variation in surface and air temperatures within a narrow range of elevations on northeast to southwest-facing slopes, ridges, and valleys. To characterize surface temperature variation within a site, 21 sensors were arranged in an identical pattern around and in six, 5x5 m experimental gardens. An additional 18 sensors were placed along three transects over the landscape running E-W. They were placed strategically to sample topographic inflection points (hill tops and valley bottoms) as well as north and south facing slopes. Temperatures were recorded on a 10 or 20-minute interval, depending on the sensor, using HOBO (Onset, www.onsetcomp.com) devices.

Near-surface, soil, and air temperature data acquired across multiple locations in the Teakettle Experimental Forest, California, 2011-2017

These temperature records were collected as part of a larger study relating microclimates to tree seedling survival in southern California mountains. These temperature records are for studies at the Teakettle Experimental Forest (Lat 36.967, Long -119.017, elevation 2000-2800 m, www.fs.fed.us/psw/ef/teakettle/). Temperature sensors were located at 44 sites across the landscape. Sites were selected to sample topographic variation in surface and air temperatures within a narrow range of elevations on northeast to southwest-facing slopes, ridges and valleys. To characterize surface temperature variation within select sites, 21 sensors were arranged in an identical pattern around and in six, 5x5 m experimental gardens (see garden schematic for details). An additional 33 sites were located across the site by way of a stratified sampling scheme which targeted low, medium, and high elevation areas, low, medium, and high radiation areas, and cold air pooling areas. In June 2012, in order to concentrate sensors in a smaller study area (ease of access and to make this more similar to other sites, 22 sites were "retired," and 7 new sites were installed, for a total of 18 during the remainder of the study. Temperatures were recorded on a 10 or 20-minute interval, depending on the sensor. using HOBO (Onset, www.onsetcomp.com) devices.

Composited land surface temperature of the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA metropolitan area and surrounding Sonoran desert derived from cloud-free, summer (June, July, and August) Landsat imagery: 1985-2020

This project calculates land surface temperature (LST) from remotely sensed imagery. The intent is to extend the previous version of the LST data for the CAP LTER study area in central Arizona, USA to include 2020 and update the products so that they are based on a composite of images from each year (all available cloud-free acquisitions from June, July, and August) in the analysis to reduce the potential for outlier images or pixels to impact analyses. The aim is to make updated LST data accessible to stakeholders and researchers studying the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA metropolitan area. LST is calculated from cloud-free Landsat 5 and 8 imagery (30m resolution) from summer months (June, July, and August) in 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. All images are cropped to the CAP LTER study area boundary.

Seasonal and annual summary statistics of urbanization, vegetation, land surface temperature, and bioclimatic variables derived from remotely-sensed imagery in areas surrounding long-term bird monitoring locations in the greater Phoenix, Arizona, USA metropolitan area (1997-2023)

This data package consists of 26 years (1998-2023) of environmental data and 22 years (2000-2022) years of bioclimatic data associated with CAP-LTER long-term point-count bird censusing sites (https://doi.org/10.6073/pasta/4777d7f0a899f506d6d4f9b5d535ba09), temporally aggregated by year and by four meteorological seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). The environmental variables include land surface temperature (LST), three spectral indices of vegetation and water – the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), the soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI), and modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI) – and four spectral indices of impervious surface/urbanization. Impervious surface indices include the normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), the normalized difference impervious surface index (NDISI), the enhanced normalized differences impervious surface index (ENDISI), and the normalized impervious surface index (NISI). LST and all spectral indices were derived from annual and seasonal composites of 30-m resolution Landsat 5-9 Level-2 Surface Reflectance imagery. The seven bioclimatic variables (e.g., air temperature, precipitation) were sourced from 1-km resolution gridded estimates of daily climatic data from NASA Daymet V4. We created temporally-aggregated Daymet raster images by calculating mean pixel-values for each season and year, as well as seasonally and annually summed precipitation. We summarized the values of each environmental variable by generating variously-sized (100-m, 500-m, 1000-m) buffers around each bird point count location and extracting weighted mean values of each environmental variable, with each pixel's values weighted by the proportion of its area falling within the buffer. All imagery retrieval and data processing were completed with Google Earth Engine (Gorelick et al. 2017) and program R.

Water Depths and Water Temperatures near Soil Surface from Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE LTER), Florida, USA, October 2000 - ongoing

Water depth (from October 2000 to present) and water temperature (from September 2021 to present) are recorded at least hourly at SRS1c (not active), SRS1d, SRS2, SRS3, SRS4, SRS5, and SRS6. Water depth is measured with pressure water level loggers (Infinities USA or HOBO) that record water height relative to the local soil surface. Water temperature near soil surface is measured with HOBO loggers. Note by IM (2021): The water meters at some of the SRS sites have been moved over the years as boardwalks have been reconstructed. There is no set survey datum for these sites, so it is impossible to correct the data to an actual datum. For hydrologic applications, it may be better to use water level data from USGS stations.

Variation in Landsat 8-estimated land surface temperature with elevation from Spartina alterniflora marsh cross sections in the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Long Term Ecological Research (GCE-LTER) site and Virginia Coast Reserve (VCR) LTER sites for winter and summer observations spanning 2013-2018

We estimated land surface temperature from top of atmosphere brightness temperature provided by Landsat 8's band 10 (a thermal band). We collected these measurements first for Spartina alterniflora dominated marsh near the Georgia Coastal Ecosystems Long Term Ecological Research (GCE-LTER) eddy covariance flux tower. Measurements were collected from pixels along three east-west cross sections that spanned a marsh edge to interior gradient. We extracted Landsat 8 data for all available cloud-free low tide dates during August, September, January and February during the years 2013 to 2018 and associated these with marsh elevation information from a 1 m^2 Digital Elevation Model (DEM), created by Haldik et al 2013, also available from the GCE data catalog (http://dx.doi.org/10.6073/pasta/4c5187ef603f70cd0a77ece24ef0fed9). We rescaled the DEM to the coarser spatial resolution of Landsat 8 (30 x 30 m) where the rescaled elevation was the mean of the constituent DEM values. Ultimately, we used generalized additive models to relate land surface temperature to elevation, while accounting for variation from spatial proximity, transect and sample date. These models revealed that land surface temperature was negatively related to marsh elevation on the marsh platform. We then confirmed the generality of this pattern by rederiving these same relationships for three cross sections of Spartina alterniflora marsh at Virginia Coast Reserve (VCR) LTER for winter sampling dates only (data also included here). DEM data for VCR LTER are available at https://www.vcrlter.virginia.edu/gisdata/LIDAR/USGS2015/. We used custom R functions that can convert Landsat 8 top of atmosphere brightness temperature or top of atmosphere radiance from band 10 data to land surface temperature, which are available at https://github.com/jloconnell/convert_top_of_atmosphere_thermal_to_land_surface_temperature.

Globally distributed lake surface water temperatures collected in situ and by satellites; 1985-2009

Global environmental change has influenced lake surface temperatures, a key driver of ecosystem structure and function. Recent studies have suggested significant warming of water temperatures in individual lakes across many different regions around the world. However, the spatial and temporal coherence associated with the magnitude of these trends remains unclear. Thus, a global dataset of water temperature is required to understand and synthesize global, long-term trends in surface water temperatures of inland bodies of water. We assembled a database of summer lake surface temperatures for 291 lakes collected in situ and/or by satellites for the period 1985-2009. In addition, corresponding climatic drivers (air temperatures, solar radiation, and cloud cover) and geomorphometric characteristics (latitude, longitude, elevation, lake surface area, maximum depth, mean depth, and volume) that influence lake surface temperatures were compiled for each lake. This unique dataset offers an invaluable baseline perspective on global-scale lake thermal conditions as environmental change continues. This dataset accompanies a data publication in the journal Scientific Data

<p>The datasets archived here include simulation results shown in the paper, &ldquo;Improved Groundwater Table and L-band Brightness Temperature Estimates for Northern Hemisphere Peatlands Using New Model Physics and SMOS Observations in a Global Data Assimilation Framework&rdquo;, published in Remote Sensing of Environment Journal (Bechtold et al., 2020). The output was produced by combining peatland-specific land surface modeling (Bechtold et al., 2019b) embedded in the NASA Catchment Land Surface Model (CLSM) with L-band brightness temperature (Tb) observations (SMOS), applying the data assimilation framework of the SMAP Level‐4 Soil Moisture product (Reichle et al., 2019). We provide netcdf files (9-km resolution EASEv2 grid, period Jan 2010 &ndash; Nov 2019, and between 45&deg;N and 70&deg;N, NE Asia excluded) of the four experiments of the manuscript: model-only (open-loop, OL) and data assimilation (DA) for each land model version, that is CLSM without and with the use of the PEATCLSM modules. The highest accuracy is provided by the DA product using PEATCLSM and Tb observations. When referring to the latter product use the name &lsquo;PEATCLSM(Tb)&rsquo;.

BST/NOAA PSL Level 3 UAS Soil Moisture, Digital Elevation, Normalized Difference Vegetative Index, and Surface Temperature for SPLASH

<p>This dataset contains uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) high-resolution data of soil moisture at the 0-5 cm soil depth, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), surface temperature, and digital elevation for the Study of Precipitation, the Lower Atmosphere, and Surface for Hydrology (SPLASH) campaign sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).&nbsp; While Level 2 provides each product at their highest retrieved spatial resolution, Level 3 provides all four products on a common grid at each flight location. These data were collected near Avery Picnic (38.972425 degrees N,106.996855 degrees W) and Kettle Ponds (38.942005 degrees N,106.973006 degrees W) in the East River Watershed in Colorado from a series of flights starting on June 1st, 2022 and ending October 18th, 2023.&nbsp; Soil moisture measurements were retrieved using the Lobe Differencing Correlation Radiometer (LDCR) which is a L-Band (1-2 GHz) microwave radiometer and was flown on the E2 and S2 aerial platforms operated by Black Swift Technologies, Inc.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Each Level 3 NetCDF file contains all four UAS parameters at a flight location interpolated to a common rectilinear grid at ~50 cm resolution. &nbsp; Soil moisture retrievals were downscaled to a higher resolution grid using bilinear interpolation while surface temperature, NDVI, and digital elevation were upscaled to a lower resolution grid using conservative interpolation. The data was regridded using the Python package xESMF which is based on code developed for the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) project.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The file name convention for the Level 3 NetCDF files is as follows.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>uas_L3_yyyymmdd_hhmmss_vx.x.nc</p> <p>where</p> <p>L3 = Level 3 data&nbsp;</p> <p>yyyymmdd = year,month,day</p> <p>hhmmss = hour,minute,second</p> <p>x.x&nbsp; = version number&nbsp;</p> <p>Time is the flight start time in UTC.</p> <p>Version number description is provided in the NetCDF global attributes.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Note that each flight location using the E2 aerial platform required two flights with different starting flight times for the soil moisture and the other three products.&nbsp; The flight start time is the time of the first flight. The total time for the two flights at each location was ~1 hour.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>November 2023 update</strong>: Version 2.0 added flight data from 2023. Version 2.0 includes an updated calibration of the soil moisture retrieval that has been applied to 2023 data, and a mask was applied to the soil moisture retrieval over water surfaces for both 2022 and 2023 data.

Historical Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data and thermal stress indices of the Tara Pacific Expedition's coral reef sampling sites, from May 1st 2002 to August 31st 2018.

<p>The Tara Pacific expedition (2016-2018) sampled coral ecosystems at 111 sampling sites around 32 islands in the Pacific Ocean, and sampled the surface of oceanic waters at 249 locations, resulting in the collection of nearly 58,000 samples (Gorsky et al. 2019, Planes et al. 2019, Flores et al. 2020). The expedition was designed to systematically study corals, fish, plankton, and seawater, and included the collection of samples for advanced biogeochemical, molecular, and imaging analysis.</p> <p>Here we provide a high-resolution historical dataset that spans from 2002 to each sites&rsquo; sampling date and gives an overview of past climate variability and heatwaves experienced by corals sampled at each site. Ocean skin temperature (11 and 12 &micro;m spectral bands longwave algorithm) was extracted from 1km resolution level-2 MODIS-Aqua and MODIS-Terra from 2002 to the sampling date and from level-2 VIIRS-SNPP from 2012 to the sampling date. Day and night overpasses were used to maximize data recovery. Following recommendations from NASA Ocean Color (OB.DAAC), only SST products of quality 0 and 1 were used. The 9 closest pixels to the sampling sites of each scene were extracted. All the extracted pixels from the 3 satellites were then averaged daily to obtain daily SST averages and standard deviations time series for each sampling site, from 2002 to the sampling date.</p> <p>Each time series was first averaged on a Julian day basis to provide a seasonal average. This yearly seasonal average was triplicated and concatenated into a 3-year seasonal cycle to apply a digital low pass filter on the middle year without generating artifacts. A digital low pass filter (filter order 3, pass band ripple 0.1; &ldquo;filfilt&rdquo; function in matlab) with 36 Julian days windows was applied to the concatenated time series to remove high frequency noise. The middle year was then extracted from the concatenated time series to recover the seasonal cycle. The sea surface temperature anomaly was calculated as the SST minus the seasonal cycle over the full time series. Considering the short periods of missing data (mean of the 95th percentile of the duration of consecutive days with missing data: 9.8 &plusmn; 4.1 days), the missing values in the SST and SST anomaly time series were linearly interpolated in order to calculate thermal stress indices. The SST anomaly frequency was calculated as the number of days over the past 52 weeks when the SST anomaly is greater than or equal to 1 &deg;C. Thermal stress indices relevant to coral reef health were then calculated using methodology developed for the Coral Reef Temperature Anomaly Database (CoRTAD) data base (Saha et al. 2019). Events of cold temperature accumulation were also reported to cause bleaching and mortality (Lirman et al. 2011; Gonz&aacute;lez-Espinosa &amp; Donner 2020), therefore, the same set of indices were calculated for cold stress adapting the CoRTAD method, but using the minimum weekly climatologies.</p> <p>A condensed table containing single values associated with each sampling site was created (&#39;TaraPacific_SST_timeseries_mean_products&#39;) extracting the minimum, maximum, sum, averages, standard deviations, and value recorded at the sampling day of each of these indices (detailed in the readme file provided with the dataset &#39;README_TaraPacific_historical_SST.md&#39;). Additional metrics of the last heating and cooling events as well as the time of recovery is also provided to represent the state of thermal stress at the day of sampling.</p>

SPHERA High Resolution Reanalysis over Italy - Hourly surface air temperature (2-meter height) 2013-2020

<p>SPHERA (High Resolution REAnalysis over Italy) &nbsp;is a convection-permitting regional reanalysis developed by ARPAE-Emilia Romagna and publicly available. The SPHERA domain covers Italy and the surrounding seas with a horizontal resolution of 2.2km. The temporal coverage corresponds to the period 1995-2020 and the dataset is available at hourly frequency.

SPHERA High Resolution Reanalysis over Italy - Hourly surface air temperature (2-meter height) 2004-2012

<p>SPHERA (High Resolution REAnalysis over Italy) &nbsp;is a convection-permitting regional reanalysis developed by ARPAE-Emilia Romagna and publicly available. The SPHERA domain covers Italy and the surrounding seas with a horizontal resolution of 2.2km. The temporal coverage corresponds to the period 1995-2020 and the dataset is available at hourly frequency.
