Urban heat island monitoring and intelligent prediction method based on big data analysis
Sustainable Energy ResearchFrequent extreme heat events in urban areas have brought growing public attention to the urban heat island effect. However, traditional monitoring techniques are unable to handle high-dimensional data, which limits their application in real-world ...

Urban Heat Island Effects in Tropical Climate
, 2020 This paper reviews some of the characteristics of urban climates and the causes and effects of urban heat island (UHI) issues in the tropical climate. UHI effect is a kind of heat accumulation phenomenon within the urban areas due to urban construction and human activities. It is recognized as the most evident characteristic of urban climate.

Assimilating urban heat island effects into climate projections [PDF]
Journal of Arid Environments, 2016 An urban heat island (UHI) effect is identified in Reno, Nevada by analyzing regional temperature trends calculated from seven long- term observation stations for the summer and winter seasons between 1950 and 2014. The UHI is maximized during summer (JuneeAugust) and characterized by asymmetric in- creases in minimum (~1.1 C/decade, p < 0.01) versus ...

Modelling and monitoring tools to evaluate the Urban Heat Island's contribution to the risk of indoor overheating [PDF]
, 2017 The growth of cit ies increases urban surface areas and anthropogenic heat generation, causing an Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. In the UK , UHI effects may cause positive (winter) and negative (summer) health , comfort and energy consumption ...

Numerical simulations of the impacts of mountain on oasis effects in arid Central Asia [PDF]
, 2017 The oases in the mountain-basin systems of Central Asia are extremely fragile. Investigating oasis effects and oasis-desert interactions is important for understanding the ecological stability of oases.

Multi-scale analysis of the surface layer urban heat island effect in five higher density precincts of central Sydney [PDF]
, 2015 The urban heat island (UHI) effect is invariably present in cities, mainly due to increased urbanisation. It can result in higher urban densities being significantly hotter (frequently more than 4°C, even up to 10°C) than their peri-urban surroundings ...
