🌡️ Ground Temperature Data

Collected by CAPA Strategies using sensors on cars and bicycles.

Two cities:

• Santiago, Chile (21,662 points – Jan 20, 2024)
• Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (28,488 points – Jan 27, 2023)

Each point includes latitude, longitude, and near-surface temperature.

Temperatures converted into a UHI Index and three classes:

• Low (≤0.98)
• Medium (0.98–1.02)
• High (≥1.02)

🏙️ Building Footprints

• 3D building footprint data (area + height).
• Useful for modeling urban density, a major driver of local heat.

🛰️ Satellite Data (Sentinel-2)

• 10 m optical imagery from ESA’s Sentinel-2.
• Provided with cloud-filtered mosaics & example notebooks.
• Enables creation of indices like NDVI (vegetation) and NDBI (built-up areas).

🎯 Your Task

Use these combined datasets - temperature labels, building footprints, and satellite-derived features—to predict Urban Heat Island class (Low / Medium / High) for new locations in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
