The urban-rural sites for this set of data are well sited and clearly show:
seasonal pattern withdaylength and the control exerted by synoptic
weather (wind, cloud & high rural wetness reduce CLUHI)
daily pattern with daytime minimum (negative) and nocturnal maximum

Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) is large both day and night.
Land use areas with large amounts of visible impervious surfaces appear hot
during the day (Warehouse, Lt industrial)
Large diurnal temperature range.
At night large and positive SUHI, maximum at end of night.
Radiative Source Areas: What does a remote sensor see?

surfaces are seen within the circular outline)

Empirical: statistical relations derived from observations (or sometimes model output) that
provide an estimate of heat island magnitude (usually maximum heat island)
