Abstract

In this study, we aim to compare the climatic conditions of Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) in Tehran and its suburbs using day/night time data from three satellites. A high-resolution Land Surface Temperature (LST) data from MODIS Aqua, Sentinel-3, and Landsat 8 were selected to facilitate this study. The highest values of LST/UHI are observed in downtown Tehran and suburban areas at night. The temperature difference also shows an increase at night in Tehran and the western suburbs, while it decreases during the day. When comparing LST/UHI with altitude in different directions, it is found that urban areas and the south, southeast, southwest, and west suburban areas experience higher temperatures at night. MODIS LST products are more appropriate for checking nighttime SUHI in Tehran\\\'s Great area in comparison to other products. Moran\\\'s I indicates that the highest positive values occur during seasonal and annual periods at night. The Getis index demonstrates a consistent pattern across all seasons, and this trend persists throughout the year. The seasonal and annual UHI difference between Tehran and its suburbs is 5 °C. The LST diagram reveals that higher temperatures occur during warm months. The temporal NDVI distribution indicates lower NDVI values from June to February and summer to winter. The spatial distribution shows that due to the lack of NDVI index in urban areas, LST/UHI values are higher at night in Tehran compared to the suburbs. UHI is not limited to urban areas but has also spread beyond the city borders. As a result, the highest UHI values are found in downtown Tehran and its southeast, south, southwest, and west suburbs.
