Cities are generally warmer than their adjacent rural land, a phenomenon known as the urban heat island (UHI). Often accompanying the UHI effect is another phenomenon called the urban dry island (UDI), whereby the humidity of urban land is lower than that of the surrounding rural land1,2,3...
Urban heat islands (UHIs) exacerbate the risk of heat-related mortality associated with global climate change. The intensity of UHIs varies with population size and mean annual precipitation, but a unifying explanation for this variation is lacking, and
Urban heat island effect has obtained more and more attention because environmental problems caused by the urban heat island have affected people's normal life. In this paper, qualitative and quantitative analyses have been used to study the relationship between normalized difference vegetated index (...
Moreover, the differences in the spatial patterns of the urban heat island are explained by dominant winds of NW and SE direction. 展开 关键词: urban climate urban heat island urbanisation Zaragoza Spain TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES ENVIRONMENT 年份: 2005 ...

On the other hand, nocturnal UHI could not be well explained statistically by the on-site variables, indicating influences from anthropogenic heat and other sources. Evaporative cooling by vegetation played a more important role at night than it did during the day. The effect of UHI on the air...
Still, officials cautioned that reflective pavement is not a remedy for the urban heat island effect. “If you’re standing over these surfaces on a hot day,___, you’re still going to be hot if you’re not in the shade,” said Jennifer Vanos, an assistant professor at Arizona State...

The urban heat island (UHI), the phenomenon of higher temperatures in urban land than the surrounding rural land, is commonly attributed to changes in biophysical properties of the land surface associated with urbanization. Here we provide evidence for a
Urban heat island (UHI) is one major anthropogenic modification to the Earth system that transcends its physical boundary. Using MODIS data from 2003 to 2012, we showed that the UHI effect decayed exponentially toward rural areas for majority of the 32 C
