Remote sensing of local warming trend in alberta, canada during 2001–2020, and its relationship with large-scale atmospheric circulations
Here, the objective was to study the local warming trend and its driving factors in the natural subregions of Alberta using a remote-sensing approach. We applied the Mann–Kendall test and Sen’s slope estimator on the day and nighttime MODIS LST time-series images to map and quantify the extent and m...
