Study of Temporal Dynamics of Urban Heat Island Surface in Padang West Sumatra, Indonesia [PDF]
Nature Environment and Pollution TechnologyPadang as the capital of the province, is a strategic area and also the center of the economy. Annual population growth affects changes in land use from vegetated land to built-up areas. An increase in barren land will trigger an increase in temperature.

Marshland Loss Warms Local Land Surface Temperature in China
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 China has the third largest area of marshland in the world. Due to the effects of human activities, marshland in China has been widely converted to built‐up land (BL) and cultivated land (CL) during the past decades.

A new approach to the estimation of the nighttime land surface temperature
Remote Sensing Technologies and Applications in Urban Environments VI, 2021 In the context of global warming, the urban heat island (UHI) has become more and more serious, aggravating the severity of heat waves impacts, which not only cause pollution and increase energy consumption, but also pose a threat to human life and health.

The Cost of Lunar Landing Pads with a Trade Study of Construction Methods [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 This study estimates the cost of building lunar landing pads and examines whether any construction methods are economically superior to others. Some proposed methods require large amounts of mass transported from the Earth, others require high energy consumption on the lunar surface, and others have a long construction time.

Interactions between dry-air entrainment, surface evaporation and convective boundary-layer development [PDF]
The influence of dry-air entrainment on surface heat fluxes and the convective boundary-layer (CBL) properties is studied for vegetated land surfaces, using a mixed-layer CBL model coupled to the Penman¿Monteith equation under a wide range of conditions.

Evaluation of soil thermal conductivity schemes for use in land surface modeling [PDF]
, 2019 Soil thermal conductivity is an important physical parameter in modeling land surface processes. Previous studies on evaluations of parameterization schemes of soil thermal conductivity are mostly based on specific experimental conditions or local soil samples, and their recommendations may not be the optimal schemes for land surface model (LSMs).
