Cities in the U.S. are getting hotter, and that is causing significant health risks, especially to minorities, the elderly, and impoverished. There is significant spatial variation in temperature across a city due to changes in the landscape (elevation, tree cover, development, etc). NOAA has been engaged in a nationwide effort with CAPA Strategies to use a combination of Sentinel-2 satellite data along with temperature readings recorded from car- and bike-mounted sensors to generate detailed maps of the urban areas most impacted by heat. These measurements have been combined into single raster layers for morning, afternoon, and evening temperatures. As of 2020, 27 cities (26 in the U.S) have been mapped; a total of 50 cities will be mapped by the end of 2021. This layer shows the census tract (neighborhood) averages for those temperatures, along with additional information calculated for each neighborhood including:Temperature anomaly (neighborhood temperature compared to the citywide average based on the CAPA data)Impervious surfaceTree coverDemographicsTotal populationPopulation <5Population >65MinorityMedian incomePovertyCombining these different types of information can help planners identify areas at risk and help to develop mitigation and resilience plans to improve urban living conditions. More information about the campaign can be found in this Story Map by NOAA.

This quick guide introduces how to make a map that visualizes the relationship between two numeric attributes in point, line, or polygon feature data. Most maps of numeric data focus on a single attribute. Though, often we need to understand our data in relation to other attributes to explain the patterns we're seeing. For example, a map showing the relationship between a hurricane’s wind speed and its barometric pressure help better communicate where hurricanes tend to intensify (over warm water) and weaken (overland). In order to really understand our data, context and data relationships need to be considered.This is part of the Smart Mapping Styles in Map Viewer collection of tutorials.

This web map contains the new Hybrid Reference Layer vector tile layer, which is designed to be used to overlay imagery. The vector tile layer is similar in content and style to the popular Imagery with Labels map, which is delivered as a map service with raster tiles, with additional labels for transportation features.The 'Imagery with Labels' basemap contains the World Imagery map service and the World Boundaries and Places map service, so when you use that basemap you get boundaries and places, but you don't get highways and streets at small scales or street labels at large scale.If you prefer a map that uses raster tiles for both boundary and transportation features, you can use the Imagery with Labels and Transportation map.
Generic Mapping Tool (GMT)
GMT is an open source collection of about 80 command-line tools for manipulating geographic and Cartesian data sets (including filtering, trend fitting, gridding, projecting, etc.) and producing PostScript illustrations ranging from simple x–y plots via contour maps to artificially illuminated surfaces and 3D perspective views; the GMT supplements add another 40 more specialized and discipline-specific tools. GMT supports over 30 map projections and transformations and requires support data such as GSHHG coastlines, rivers, and political boundaries and optionally DCW country polygons. GMT is developed and maintained by Paul Wessel, Walter H. F. Smith, Remko Scharroo, Joaquim Luis and Florian Wobbe, with help from a global set of volunteers, and is supported by the National Science Foundation. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 3 or any later version.

Degree days are based on the assumption that when the outside temperature is 65°F, we don't need heating or cooling to be comfortable. Cooling Degree Days (CDD) are the difference between the daily temperature mean (high temperature plus low temperature divided by two) and 65°F. In essence, it tells us how many degrees we need to cool our houses/buildings by each day to achieve that "comfortable" level. More information on CCDs can be found here. This layer shows the total number of CDDs needed per year over the average period of 2036-2065. This information is sourced from the high resolution LOCA climate models used in the 4th National Climate Assessment. Specifically, we are showing CDDs under a high CO2 emissions scenario (RCP 8.5), which is, at this point, the most realistic scenario.

Layer description: Cold air exchange areas occur extensively over undeveloped areas, especially on slopes, and are oriented towards the settlement area. They are characterised by a near-ground flow velocity of mostly over 0.3 m/s or an above-average cold air volume flow density of over 16 m³/(s*m). Thus, they fulfil the same criteria as the cold-air corridors, but are not limited in width by adjacent structures (e.g. buildings or forests). Explanation: The present geodata are taken from the regional climate analysis of Luxembourg (GEO-NET & LIST 2021) which was published with the report « KLIMAÖKOLOGISCHE SITUATION IN LUXEMBURG“ - Modellbasierte regionale Klimaanalyse / (La situation au Luxembourg en matière d’écologie climatique) » by the Administration for Environment. Source: -> https://environnement.public.lu/fr/klima-an-energie/changement-climatique/klimaanalyse.html -> https://data.public.lu/fr/datasets/klimaokologische-situation-in-luxemburg-la-situation-au-luxembourg-en-matiere-decologie-climatique/ Abstracts: The Luxembourg regional climate, which is formed during a low-exchange radiative weather pattern in summer, was investigated using high-resolution computer-based modelling. In total, the model area is described with 8,272,693 grid cells, with information on terrain height, land use, structural height and degree of sealing stored for each grid cell. The urban climate model FITNAH-3D according to Groß (1992) forms the basic framework for the modelling. The input data and model results are based on a horizontal spatial resolution of 25 m x 25 m. The model results are presented in maps. The model results are presented in cartographic representations of the nocturnal temperature field, the nocturnal cold air flow field (4 a.m. in each case) and the thermal load during the day (2 p.m.) and concretised in the form of a climate analysis map. The main product of the work process is a planning recommendation map with an associated catalogue of measures. On the one hand, the map makes visible the graduated need for action to improve thermal comfort in summer in all living/working and recreational areas (“load area”) of the population in Luxembourg. On the other hand, the planning recommendation map also assigns a value to all green and open spaces in the country ("compensation area") with regard to the climate-ecological functions they provide. Notes: - The geodata are only to be used in the context of the specific considerations of the above-mentioned report (e.g.: basic data as of 2018, specific meteorological framework conditions). - The composition of the layers is based on the corresponding maps from the above-mentioned report. Even though these layers can be combined with any other layers from other thematic areas in the geoportal, it should be noted that these representations can easily lead to misinterpretations. - Detailed explanations of this layer and the modelling methodology can be found in the sources mentioned above. - The assessments of the planning recommendation map are based on the climate-ecological functions without taking into account the concerns of other sectoral plans, i.e. the planning recommendation maps represent weighting material obtained from a climate perspective.

Spatial data supporting appropriately located and designed woodland creation where this will provide dappled shade to improve aquatic ecology by reducing summer water temperatures and benefiting wildlife dispersal (for example, otter) along the corridors of habitat this creates.
The data represents a 50 m buffer around patches of surface waterbodies (rivers) with little or no existing riparian shade.
Sections of river with the least amount of shading from riparian vegetation are considered to be priority areas for tree planting and therefore candidates for incentives such as additional grant aid to encourage woodland creation to provide greater shading in the future.Data input sources:
