J. Pitman1, N. Haghdadi3 & I. MacGill4 Cities import energy, which in combination with their typically high solar absorption and low moisture availability generates the urban heat island effect (UHI). The UHI, combined with human-induced warming, makes our densely populated cities ...
Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon resulting in the increase of ambient temperature in dense areas of cities in comparison with rural areas. UHI has been demonstrated to be relevant in the Sydney metropolitan area, with a peak intensity of up to 6掳C. This has the consequence of ...

Still, officials cautioned that reflective pavement is not a remedy for theurbanheat 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 multi-layer UCM, or Building Effect Parametrization (BEP), is very suitable due to its capability to consider the three-dimensional urban surfaces and the vertical exchange of heat, moisture and momentum, accounting for the anthropogenic heat emission in the urban canopy (Rajput et al., ...
High-resolution global maps of annual urban land coverage provide fundamental information of global environmental change and contribute to applications related to climate mitigation and urban planning for sustainable development. Here we map global annual urban dynamics from 1985 to 2015 at a 30 m re...

It has recently been demonstrated that the prevailing climate is the main control on the magnitude of the urban heat island effects globally3,4primarily due to the dominant effect of changing landcover on the rates of evaporative cooling. Hence, in nonirrigated situations, we would expect that ...
