(a) Topography of Tehran derived from 30-second resolution data. (b) Land use map of Greater Tehran based on 10-meter Sentinel-2 satellite data. (c) Longitudinal and latitudinal profiles from south to north and west to east, delineating central area boundaries and surrounding suburbs. The data presented in Fig. 1a were prepared using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). URL link: https://data.nextgis.com/en/region/IR/dem. The map was generated using ArcGIS Desktop, specifically ArcMap and ArcScene (ESRI ArcGIS Desktop, Release 10). Redlands, CA: Environmental Systems Research Institute. Version number: ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.0 (ArcMap 10.8.0 and ArcScene 10.8.0). URL link: https://www.esri.com (2020). The data in Fig. 1b were prepared using the Esri Sentinel-2 Land Cover Explorer. URL link: https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/landcover. The map was generated in ArcGIS Desktop using ArcMap (ESRI ArcGIS Desktop, Release 10). Redlands, CA: Environmental Systems Research Institute. Version number: ArcGIS Desktop 10.8 (ArcMap 10.8). URL link: https://www.esri.com (2020). The data presented in Fig. 1c were prepared using Earth data. Cite: AppEEARS Team.
