(LST) from MODIS averaged over three annual cycles (2003–2005) are used in a spatial analysis to assess the urban heat island (UHI) skin temperature amplitude and its relationship to development intensity, size, and ecological setting for 38 of the most populous cities in the continental ...
A study of the urban heat island effect was carried out comparing 45-year daily temperature records (1946-1990) of San Antonio, Texas (USA), with three small surrounding towns; New Braunfels, Poteet, and Boerne, These towns are all within 40 kilometers of San Antonio and were chosen ...

In this paper, evidences for influences of future urban expansion on regional climate in the Northeast megalopolis, USA, are presented. The model-based analysis shows that future urban expansion will significantly result in regional climate change. An av
they tend to shrink and become more isolated. This will lead to the loss of green spaces within urban areas and can also exacerbate the urban heat island effect. Urban planning and management will face challenges as fragmented landscapes emerge, characterized by a variety of land ownership pattern...
