Atmospheric impacts on daytime urban heat island [PDF]
, 2018 Daytime urban heat island effects can be weak compared to night time and even reversed (as in the case of cool islands, where urban locations display lower temperatures than at a rural site), mostly due to shading effects from buildings, vegetation, and ...

SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF URBAN GROWTH ON URBAN HEAT ISLAND: CASE OF KONYA, TURKIYE [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2023 The increase in impermeable surfaces within the urban areas contributes to local and regional-scale climate changes. This phenomenon, called "Urban Heat Island," is observed as the temperature in urban areas is higher than rural areas and natural ...
