    This document summarizes a new high-resolution land surface temperature product for urban environments called MuSLI Urban LST. The product provides hourly land surface temperatures at a 100m spatial resolution using statistical downscaling techniques to disaggregate temperatures from GOES-16 and ECOSTRESS satellites to finer scales. It is currently being tested and validated in several US cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, and Washington DC as well as Athens, Greece. The high-resolution temperature data can help inform policies around heat mitigation and assessing heat risks in cities. Several organizations are already using the dataset for applications like identifying optimal areas for cool pavements and tree planting to reduce urban heat island effects.
