We investigated the vegetation – air temperature – land surface temperature nexus in southern California. We coupled 300 in-situ air temperature sensors with airborne measurements of a vegetation index and surface temperature. Vegetation was associated with cooler land surface temperature during the day and air temperature at night. Vegetation provides cooling benefits although the effects on microclimate vary by temperature, vegetation, and time of day.
