The paper demonstrates the relationship existing between the size of a village, town or city (as measured by its population), and the magnitude of the urban heat island it produces. This is accomplished by analyzing data gathered by automobile traverses in 10 settlements on the St. Lawrence ...
City Size and the Urban Heat Island 来自 Semantic Scholar 喜欢 0 阅读量: 979 作者: TR Oke 摘要: The paper demonstrates the relationship existing between the size of a village, town or city (as measured by its population), and the magnitude of the urban heat island it produces. This is ...
Urban climate is determined by a variety of factors, whose knowledge can help to attenuate heat stress in the context of ongoing urbanization and climate change. We study the influence of city size and urban form on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon
Urban sprawl is generally considered as an undesired phenomenon (e.g. expressed by European Environmental Agency, 2006) as it leads to suboptimal distribution and consumption of land and other resources, as further discussed in Section 6.3. Sign in to download full-size image Figure 6.2. ...
¶A mesoscale analysis of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) of New York City (NYC) is performed using a mesoscale network of weather stations. In all seasons the UHI switches on rapidly in late afternoon and shuts down even more rapidly shortly after dawn. It averages about 4 °C in summe...
Architecture, Engineering, and ConstructionHironori Watanabe, YOSHIKI JYU-NIMURAMany Japanese cities have faced the thermal pollution problem caused by the urban heat island (UHI). It has been pointed out that the reason of UHI is land cover change and artificial heat release, but in many cities...
Previous studies have shown that urbanization in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region in southern China can have significant effect on the land-sea breeze circulation in the region. In this study, some characteristics of this urban heat island (UHI) effect are further investigated by some idealized...
The rapid urbanization and land-use/land-cover (LU/LC) changes have resulted in the unplanned and unsustainable growth of the Indian cities. This has resulted in a number of environmental issues such as escalating the urban heat island (UHI) intensity over the cities. Therefore, this study was...
Alteration of climatic conditions and the urban heat island effect (UHI) are consequences of increased human population and activities in urban zones. Determining the magnitude of the UHI is important to improve urban planning in medium-size cities like Querétaro. Increase and conservation of vegetate...
s: The Urban Heat Island (UHI) has become more and more serious and affected the ecological environment greatly.The research 0f UHI and its environmental effects is conductive for the city's planning and its suitable development. In this paper, The evolution of UHI in Tianjin city is examined...
