![LOSANGELESHEATWAVE](https://ecostress.jpl.nasa.gov/downloads/gallery/urbanheat/00116_LST_over_LA.jpg) [Greater Los Angeles](https://lacounty.gov/emergency/) is a prime example of an urban heat island - cities and suburbs woven with heat-trapping concrete and asphalt that lead to warmertemperatures than nearby rural areas that have more vegetation. Bordered by mountains and the ocean, the Greater L.A. area encompasses suburbs andskyscrapers, with a dense population and disparities in green space. It includes several counties, tens of thousands of square miles, and more than18 million people, making it a compelling test bed for heat wave research. @nasa @nasa-jpl
