Many previous studies have demonstrated that changes in the urban surface albedo are strongly related to the city\u2019s heterogeneity and have significant spatial-temporal characteristics but fail to address the albedo of the urban surface as a unique variable in urban thermal environment research. This study selects Beijing as the experimental area for exploring the spatial-temporal characteristics of the urban surface albedo and the albedo\u2019s uniqueness in environmental research on urban spaces. Our results show that the urban surface albedo at high spatial resolution can better represent the urban spatial heterogeneity, seasonal variation, building canyon, and pixel adjacency effects. Urban surface albedo is associated with building density and height, land surface temperature (LST), and fractional vegetation cover (FVC). Furthermore, albedo can reflect livability and environmental rating due to the variances of building materials and architectural formats in the urban development. Hence, we argue that the albedo of the urban surface can be considered as a unique variable for improving the acknowledgment of the urban environment and human livability with wider application in urban environmental research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14236166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]],"date-time":"2022-12-05T11:02:10Z","timestamp":1670238130000},"page":"6166","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Spatial Heterogeneity and Temporal Variation in Urban Surface Albedo Detected by High-Resolution Satellite Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6944-182X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hantian","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Space and Earth Information Science, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5063-3522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Space and Earth Information Science, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong, China"}]},{"given":"Zhaoju","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9261-7942","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zonghan","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China"},{"name":"School of Resource and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"111980","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rse.2020.111980","article-title":"Mapping urban dynamics (1992\u20132018) in Southeast Asia using consistent nighttime light data from DMSP and VIIRS","volume":"248","author":"Zhao","year":"2020","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
