The Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) is a micro-climate phenomenon that occurs in urban environments, where the air temperatures in urbanized areas are significantly higher than those in outlying areas1,2,3,4. In fact, rapid urbanization become one of the most important global issues in the t...
The results are divided into six grades and temperature level distribution diagram and temperature area ratio statistics were outputted. By the analysis of temperature rating maps and temperature area ratio statistics, it showed that the heat island effect mainly occure in the central city of Nantong...
Urban heat island (UHI), a phenomenon involving increased air temperature of a city compared to the surrounding rural area, results in increased energy use and escalated health problems. To understand the magnitude and characteristics of UHI in Seoul and to accommodate for the high temporal variabil...
This study delves into the relationship between urban morphology and the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect inManchester's transit-oriented development (TOD). Using various analytical methods, including context analysis,remote sensing, SPSS correlation and the Sankey analysis, the research examines both wee...
but can result in unintentional consequences. Vacancy may reduce property values and social cohesion in impacted neighborhoods, but it also can support urban vegetation, providing the space to expand nature-based ecosystem services such as local and city-wide heat island mitigation67. In contrast, th...
The WoS search queries were: (((ALL=(Urban Heat Island)) AND ALL=(heatwaves)) (n = 260); (((ALL=(Urban Heat Island)) AND ALL=(heatwave)) (n = 260); (((ALL=(Urban Heat Island)) AND ALL=(heat wave)) (n = 1027). The sample was filtered using an expert-based approach to...
Two other geochemical concerns in urban areas are exposure to particles and the urban heat island effect. Exposure to particles is typically through inhalation. Nanoparticles, which have sizes between 1 and 100nm, are of particular concern because of their ability to penetrate deep into the body ...
The urban heat island (UHI) refers to the land surface temperature (LST) difference between urban areas and their undeveloped or underdeveloped surroundings. It is a measure of the thermal influence of the urban built-up area expansion (UBAE), a topic th
