The highest levels of excess mortality were found in areas with larger elderly populations, towards the outskirts of the Greater London Authority (GLA).doi:10.1016/j.uclim.2015.08.001elsevierUrban ClimateMapping the effects of urban heat island, housing, and age on excess heat-related mortality ...
Modeling effects of urban heat island mitigation strategies on heat-related morbidity: a case study for Phoenix, Arizona, USA A zero-dimensional energy balance model was previously developed to serve as a user-friendly mitigation tool for practitioners seeking to study the urban h... HR Silva,PE...
more precipitation and rising sea levels. Especially increased temperatures will worsen the situations in cities, amplifying the urban heat island effect. Green infrastructures, i.e. urban trees are a common tool to improve the urban micro-climate for humans. Vital and well...
This study presents numerical simulations analysing the effect of urban heat island (UHI) mitigation measures on the chemical composition of the urban atmosphere. The mesoscale chemical transport model WRF-Chem is used to investigate the impact of urban greening and highly reflective surfaces on the ...

Urban Heat Island (UHI ) are urban and sub-urban areas that are significantly warmer than their surroundings. It is often warmer in the city than in surrounding rural areas during summer time and especially at night. Traditionally, highly absorptive construction materials and the lack of effective...
Characterization of Combined Effects of Urban Built-Up and Vegetated Areas on Long-Term Urban Heat Islands in BeijingWith the development of urbanization and industrialization, megacities have experienced more severe surface urban heat island (SUHI) effects. Land surface temperatures (LSTs) are ...
This paper analyses the urban heat island in Zaragoza (Spain) and its spatial patterns. Moreover, the main structural and urban factors that affect this phenomenon are analysed. We created a data base of air temperature by means of urban transects. The data was used to develop air temperature...
This study provides comprehensive information on how different urban forms and functions are related to LST variations at different time scales, which supports urban thermal regulation through urban design. 展开 关键词: urban heat island, land surface temperature, local climate zone, remote sensing, ...
(5 years) of the first principle component (PC1) have a tendency of decreasing with the distance increasing to urban area It indicates that the urban heat island effect is stronger in urban area than in suburban area The annual tendency rate of the first eigen vector is larger in urban ...
