Modeling the Distribution, Impacts, and Mitigation of Anthropogenic Heat in Los Angeles
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract Anthropogenic heat emissions from human energy consumption contribute to the urban heat island (UHI) effect, yet their spatiotemporal distributions and impacts remain uncertain. In this study, we develop a 100 m resolution, hourly anthropogenic heat flux (AHF) data set for Los Angeles County and use the Weather Research and Forecasting model ...
