Short Summary

This paper presents a long-term seasonal surface environment dataset comprising Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC), and Temperature Vegetation Dryness Index (TVDI) for the Dushanzi-Kuqa Highway region, derived from MODIS satellite data.

Objective

• To generate and share a comprehensive, long-term seasonal surface environment dataset for the Dushanzi-Kuqa Highway (DKH) region, including Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC), and Temperature Vegetation Dryness Index (TVDI).

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Within a 10 km buffer around the Dushanzi-Kuqa Highway.
• Temporal Scale: Quarterly data from 2000 to 2024 (25 years), with quarters defined as Q1 (January-March), Q2 (April-June), Q3 (July-September), and Q4 (October-December).

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform for data extraction. FVC and TVDI were calculated from the extracted LST and NDVI data.
• Data sources: MODIS satellite data.

Main Results

• The primary result is the publicly available dataset containing quarterly Land Surface Temperature (LST), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC), and Temperature Vegetation Dryness Index (TVDI) for a 10 km buffer around the Dushanzi-Kuqa Highway, spanning from 2000 to 2024.

Contributions

• This work provides a valuable, long-term (25-year) seasonal dataset of key surface environmental parameters (LST, NDVI, FVC, TVDI) for the Dushanzi-Kuqa Highway region, offering a crucial resource for remote sensing and environmental analysis studies in this specific area.
