The sky view factor (SVF) is an important structure index of buildings and combines height and density attributes. These factors have impact on the land surface temperature (LST). Thus, it is crucial to analyze the relationship between SVF and LST in different spatial-temporal scales. Therefore, we tried to use a building vector database to calculate the SVF, and we used remote sensing thermal infrared band to retrieve LST. Then, we analyzed the influence between SVF and LST in different spatial and temporal scales, and we analyzed the seasonal variation, day\u2013night variation, and the impact of building height and density of the SVF\u2013LST relationship. We selected the core built-up area of Beijing as the study area and analyzed the SVF\u2013LST relationship in four periods in 2018. The temporal experimental results indicated that LST is higher in the obscured areas than in the open areas at nighttime. In winter, the maximum mean LST is in the open areas. The spatial experimental results indicate that the SVF and LST relationship is different in the low SVF region, with 30 m and 90 m pixel scale in the daytime. This may be the shadow cooling effect around the buildings. In addition, we discussed the effects of building height and shading on the SVF\u2013LST relationship, and the experimental results show that the average shading ratio is the largest at 0.38 in the mid-rise building area in winter.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13204117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,14]],"date-time":"2021-10-14T23:02:16Z","timestamp":1634252536000},"page":"4117","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["The Influence of Sky View Factor on Daytime and Nighttime Urban Land Surface Temperature in Different Spatial-Temporal Scales: A Case Study of Beijing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5720-2338","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiang","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Urban Spatial Information, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 102616, China"}]},{"given":"Qianhao","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Urban Spatial Information, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 102616, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7926-7303","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunhao","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100085, China"}]},{"given":"Kangning","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100085, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0222-3366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dandan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Land Science and Technology, China University of Geosciences, Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9164-5805","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shisong","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Urban Spatial Information, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing 102616, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105992","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ecolind.2019.105992","article-title":"Dominant landscape indicators and their dominant areas influencing urban thermal environment based on structural equation model","volume":"111","author":"Xie","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ecol.
