An important aspect of heat is that some community members face a greater burden, so we are going to compare our heat data to a social characteristic of Boulder. This map shows the temperature for the 6pm-7pm driving shift andcompares it to the number of affordable housing units. This map...
Urban Heat Island Effect Analysis around Hangzhou Bay between 2005 and 2009 Using Remotely Sensed DataUrban heat islandMODISRemote sensingCity groupHangzhou bayBy taking advantage of temporal and spatial remote sensing, the present paper was to map, identify and characterize urban heat island in rapid...
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
An urban heat island effect, which leads to foci of higher temperatures in some urban areas, can raise heat-related mortality. The objective of this research is to map the risk of high temperature in particular locations by creating heat maps of the city of San Juan. The heat vulnerability ...
Globally, the deteriorating Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect poses a significant threat to human health and undermines ecosystem stability. UHI mitigation strategies have been investigated and utilized extensively within cities by the provision of green, b
The status quo map of urban greening and heat island distribution of Beijing city have been established through abstracting and classifying the information from remote sensing image. The distributive character and intensive rank of urban heat island have been analyzed. The heat characteristic of ...
A recent re-evaluation of urban heat island (UHI) studies has suggested that the urban effect may be expressed more meaningfully as a difference between Local Climate Zones (LCZ), defined as areas with characteristic dimensions of between one and several kilometers that have distinct effects on ...
The homogenized map was merged with the MODIS eight-day interval LST data to compute the relationship between them. The results revealed that (i) the cooling effect accrued from urban vegetation tended to be non-linear; and (ii) a remarkable and stronger cooling effect in terms of LST was ...
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...
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
