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. A complete description of data processing methods, including the aggregation of imagery by year and season and the calculation of s

High-resolution (100 m) urban land surface dataset for the Hong Kong-Shenzhen area
<p>In recent years, with rapidly developing computational capabilities, high-resolution techniques have been continuously employed in the atmospheric models. Thus, researchers become capable of applying these high-resolution models to produce detailed meteorological scenarios, which empowers studies of urban-scale climatology which requires finer grid spacing. WRF ARW/Noah LSM/UCM model is often used in urban climate researches. However, the default input land surface data in urban areas is not enough precise, especially for the data describing in China. In this study, we developed a series of methods to produce the high-resolution urban land surface dataset which includes the land cover, vegetation coverage, urban morphology, artificial impervious area and anthropogenic heat data in Hong Kong-Shenzhen area. Moreover, a sensitivity test was conducted to examine the influence of urban land surface data accuracy on urban climate modeling quality. In short, the article proposes the methodological framework for producing the urban land surface dataset and presents how the urban land surface accuracy affects urban climate modeling quality.</p>
