Urban heat island (UHI) has the potential to directly influence the health and welfare of urban residents. This study assessed the health related impacts of urban heat island in Douala Metropolis in Cameroon. Two land-use classes (resident and commercial) and two land-cover types (paved and gr...
The spatial extent of Tehran's urban heat island is reduced in March-April 2020 due to lockdown. • Statistics show that urban cooling in March-April cannot be accounted for by regional synoptics. • Strongest March-April negative temperature departures in two decades are recorded for Tehran...

The speeding up of urbanization makes the urban heat island effect become more and more obvious, and then the rise of urban temperature will lead to the increase of urban energy consumption, especially for the influence of buildings' heating and cooling energy consumption. According to the design...
Urban heat island could strengthen the warming trend of air temperature and cause the change of carbon cycle of urban ecosystems. The primary goal of this study was to explore the above phenomena in a subtropical city of Shenzhen. We selected four sites along a thermal gradient of the city an...

Moreover, restrictions on transportation in the cities resulted in an evident drop in the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect, particularly in megacities. The changes reported as well as the analytical framework provides a baseline benchmark to assess the sectoral pollution contributions to air ...
Under fair weather conditions, the temperature excess (urban heat island) significantly modifies boundary layer characteristics/structures and local circulations. The modified boundary layer and local circulations result in an increase in O3 levels in the urban area of 16 ppb in the nighttime and 13 ...
