The surface heat island of Rotterdam and its relationship with urban surface characteristics

Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 2012
Thermal infrared high resolution satellite images from Landsat sensors were used to spatially quantify the surface heat island (SHI) of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Based on surface temperature maps retrieved on 15 summer days since 1984, the average surface temperature of each district and neighbourhood within the city was compared to the rural ...

Seasonal Surface Urban Heat Island Analysis

2019 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event (JURSE), 2019
Surface Urban Heat Islands (SUHIs) show large temporal variability, which introduces considerable uncertainty into studies based on a single or a few acquisitions. Besides short-term and more random influences, they exhibit considerable systematic diurnal and seasonal variation, which has been investigated in several recent studies.

Dynamic Evolution of Surface Urban Heat Island in Beijing

IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019
With the development of the urbanization, the impact of urban heat island effect is becoming more and more severe. It is difficult to reveal the evolution of heat island dynamics based on statistical data, while the application of remote sensing data provides an effective method.

Linking Surface Urban Heat Islands with Groundwater Temperatures

Environmental Science & Technology, 2015
Urban temperatures are typically, but not necessarily, elevated compared to their rural surroundings. This phenomenon of urban heat islands (UHI) exists both above and below the ground. These zones are coupled through conductive heat transport. However, the precise process is not sufficiently understood. Using satellite-derived land surface temperature
