Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery has provided a partial solution, as it can capture information regardless of weather or illumination. However, analyzing SAR images solely based on backscattering coefficients presents difficulties, especially in complex terrains affected by distortions.

This study evaluates its potential by comparing its thermal anomalies, represented by standardized thermal anomaly (as known as z-score), with Landsat-based temperature data in detecting thermal anomalies and hotspots across heterogeneous landscapes. HotSat-1 reveals pronounced fine-scale thermal heterogeneity both between and within land use categories, with statistically significant differences that are often unresolved by coarser sensors. Cross-sensor comparisons show that HotSat-1 and Landsat consistently identify major thermal coolspots and hotspots (<em>r =</em> 0.58, <em>p < 0001</em>). However, Landsat-based data exhibits reduced sensitivity to extreme and localized thermal anomalies, particularly over small, linear, and fragmented features. Due to coarser spatial resolution, Landsat tends to detect larger and more contiguous hotspot patches, thereby potentially leading to the misclassification of thermal hotspots over cooler vegetated surfaces.
