Global Urban Vegetation Cooling Thresholds and Seasonal Timing Data

Global data on the cooling effects of urban vegetation, including nonlinear thresholds and seasonal timing. The dataset, created by Baoling Gui, was last updated on June 3, 2026, and is available in multiple formats totaling 402.9 MB. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling urban heat island mitigation based on vegetation cooling thresholds mentioned in the description
• Analyzing seasonal variations in vegetation cooling effects based on the seasonal timing data
• Identifying global patterns in the relationship between urban greenery and temperature reduction
• Calibrating climate models with empirical data on nonlinear vegetation cooling effects

Strengths

• Dataset size is 402.9 MB, indicating a substantial volume of data
• Available in multiple formats (CSV, ZIP, NPZ, XLSX) for flexibility
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for broad reuse

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
