Analysing LST and Uncertainties: Insights from ESA CCI Data

This recorded training session from the ESA CCI Land Surface Temperature Workshop 2024, dives into how ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) datasets—specifically Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Land Cover (LC)—can be used to study urban heat islands in Leicestershire, UK.

You'll learn how to access, visualise, and analyse LST data using the ESA CCI Toolbox, with hands-on examples focusing on urban vs. non-urban temperature trends. The session also covers data filtering, handling different formats (Zarr, Kerchunk, NetCDF), defining regions of interest, and working with polar-orbiting satellite data.
