Quantifying the Contribution of LUCC to Surface Energy Budget: A Case Study of Four Typical Cities in the Yellow River Basin in China

With social changes and economic development, human activities inevitably lead to significant changes in land use types. Land use and land cover change (LUCC) leads to a series of changes in energy balance and surface temperature, which has an impact on the regional climate. In this study, MODIS rem...
