Dataset for PVHI

Dear all,

as the increase in solar energy in reaching top level of development and investment worldwide, the main public sector concerns with respect to EIA and Permitting assessment is related the micro-climate issues also called PVHI (Photovoltaic Heat Island). Everyone quotes (Barron, 2016) if you wish to know the more.

Apparently there are set of tools originally realized for mesoscale weather prediction or Urban Heat Island measurement to predict such effects. However I’d like to understand how can I track this phenomena using satellites data.

According to an Italian Environmental Agency - the phenomenon can be investigated tracking LST - Land Surface Temperature and NDVI - Normalized Difference of Vegetation Index with Copernicus (EumeSat, and Sentinel).

Can you please help me to address to the proper repository of such public data? I will be happy to download it and understand how to use its.

Do I require a python API? I’ve just seen you are migrating al the dataset.

If you can refer to any tutorial I’ll be happy to learn.
