Urban development-induced LULCC has had and is expected to continue having impacts on local to regional warming, a phenomenon referred to as the urban heat island (UHI), by virtue of replacing natural landscapes with roads, buildings, and an enhancement in anthropogenic heat release38,39,40. ...
"The advance in blooming is probably consistent with, but not scientifically related to, human caused climate change," said Gonzalez, a climate change scientist. Other possible causal influences include the urban heat island effect, he noted....
HI. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Researchers have found that urban heat island effect made worse by sunbaked roads...
While heat mitigation is crucial to achieving sustainable urban development, an inadequate understanding of the evolution of the urban thermal environment (UTE) and its relationship with socio-ecological systems (SESs) constrains the development of effective mitigation strategies. In this study, we use ...
This phenomenon is produced by the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which is basically described as elevated temperatures in urban areas compared to surrounding rural areas (Oke et al., 2017). The UHI effect is among the key challenges in urban environments. It is influenced by various factors...
China is experiencing fast urbanization, resulting in distinct urban climate problems such as the urban heat island effect (Peng et al., 2012, Cao et al., 2016). There has been an increase of concerns and interest regarding urban climate in many Chinese cities (Ng and Ren, 2018). However...
Though the proprietary, 2.5-layer fabric’s breathability is middle of the pack, smooth-running pit zips quickly dropped heat. “The shell was easy to vent during high-output activities without stopping to fuss around,” says New Mexico-based tester Kendra Brown. The 50-denier nylon stood up...
cities are typically considered 'urban heat islands' as a result of the preponderance of radiative heating from glass, concrete, steel and related materials, waste heat from air conditioners and vehicle engines, and low evaporative cooling potential due to the dominance by impervious surfaces (Heisler...
The canopy layer urban heat island (UHI) effect, as manifested by elevated near-surface air temperatures in urban areas, exposes urban dwellers to additional heat stress in many cities, specially during heat waves. We simulate the urban climate of variou
The urban heat island (UHI) effect exerts a great influence on the Earth’s environment and human health and has been the subject of considerable attention. Landscape patterns are among the most important factors relevant to surface UHIs (SUHIs); however, the relationship between SUHIs and land...
