In particular, the keywords of the conceptual definition mainly include land surface temperature (LST), temperature, heat island intensity, radiation temperature, remote sensing, surface temperature inversion, thermal comfort, model, simulation, pattern, CFD, etc. The driving mechanism mainly contains ...
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...
