Movie ID Title
Landsat urban growth sequence for Las Vegas 3509 Las Vegas Growth from Landsat
This image shows sensible heat flux (watts per square meter) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The warm urban areas have higher positive flux (heat flowing towards the atmosphere) and stand out very distinctly against their surroundings. 3157 Urban Signatures: Sensible Heat Flux (WMS)
This image shows latent heat flux (watts per square meter) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their surroundings, which have more evaporation and therefore greater latent heat flux. 3156 Urban Signatures: Latent Heat Flux (WMS)
This image shows outgoing thermal radiation (watts per square meter) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their less radiative surroundings. 3155 Urban Signatures: Thermal Radiation (WMS)
This image shows evaporation rate (milligrams per square meter per second) predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their more evaporative surroundings. 3154 Urban Signatures: Evaporation (WMS)
This image shows average surface temperatures predicted by LIS for 2001/06/11. Temperatures range from 9 C to 35 C (48F to 95F), with the hottest areas being red and dark red. Temperatures are generally cooler farther north and at higher elevations. The urban areas stand out very distinctly against their surroundings. 3152 Urban Signatures: Temperature (WMS)
This edited movie combines four different years of Landsat imagery to show how the city of Las Vegas grew between the years 1972 and 2006. 10184 Urban Growth in Las Vegas
