P29: Heat hazard maps

Download the gap analysis product sheet 

Maturity score

Mean: 2.6

STD: 0.80

Constraints and limitations

·   Cloud presence

·   Land Surface Temperature (LST) data can be influenced by atmospheric conditions, such as clouds, aerosols, and water vapour. These factors can introduce inaccuracies in temperature measurements, especially in cloudy regions.

Relevant user needs

UN12: Analysis of potential risks in specific regions.

UN14: Need to screen the feasibility of projects against different hazard criteria.

UN41: Need to monitor the impact of increased temperatures on assets.

R&D gaps

·   The unavailability of higher spatial resolution thermal sensors with high revisit frequency.

Potential improvements drivers

·  New missions with high spatial and temporal resolutions of the thermal sensor
