Analysing the Surface Urban Heat Island Effect with Copernicus Data
2021To ensure that the great opportunities of Copernicus satellite data offered, in open and free mode, are fully grasped, a major awareness of them must be widespread among European citizens, companies, and public administrations. To this end, initiatives such as the EO-UPTAKE Ligurian regional project aim at studying application scenarios centered on the

The effect of spatial heterogeneity in urban morphology on surface urban heat islands
Energy and Buildings, 2021Abstract The effects of urban morphology on urban climates have been investigated mainly in terms of average urban spatial characteristics represented by the mean values of urban spatial variables, such as average building height of an urban area of interest.

Urban Informal Housing and Surface Urban Heat Island Intensity
Environment and Urbanization ASIA, 2018Urbanization leads to the densification of built-up areas, and thereby increases surface heat island intensity which is one of the growing concerns in the rapidly urbanizing cities. Another notable aspect of cities like Mumbai is the uncontrolled growth of informal slum housing clusters, which have emerged as a significant urban built form in the ...

Quantifying the response of surface urban heat island to urban greening in global north megacities
Science of The Total Environment, 2021Urban heat island, a phenomenon that urban temperature is higher than the rural area nearby, affects directly citizens' human health and well-being. However, the cooling effect from urban green space (UGS) and the attribution of the different land processes to surface urban heat island intensity (SUHI) under different background climates remains ...

Surface urban heat island in South Korea’s new towns with different urban planning
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2022A new town is strategically built within a short period compared to naturally developed cities. It is considered an appropriate study area for analyzing the urban climate problems such as surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) that is differently generated according to urban planning and development.

Towards a continuous climatological assessment of urban surface heat islands
2017 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event (JURSE), 2017This paper presents a method of analysis for deriving temporally continuous urban surface temperature and heat island assessments from hemispherical measurements of upwelling thermal radiation. This method was developed to overcome geometric and temporal biases inherent in traditional thermal remote sensing of urban surface climates.

Surface Urban Heat Island Across 419 Global Big Cities
Environmental Science & Technology, 2011Urban heat island is among the most evident aspects of human impacts on the earth system. Here we assess the diurnal and seasonal variation of surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) defined as the surface temperature difference between urban area and suburban area measured from the MODIS.

Assessing the Surface Urban Heat Island Effect in Xining, China
2013This study focuses on using remotely sensed land surface temperature (LST) to assess the surface urban heat island effect (SUHI) in Xining, Qinghai. Cloud-freeLandsat TM data acquired on 30 June 2002 and 17 July 2009 were selected to generate LSTmaps. Analysis of the SUHI characteristics from these two images reveals that1) there was a mean LST growth ...

Analyzing the Influence of Urban Forms on Surface Urban Heat Islands in Europe
Journal of Urban Planning and Development, 2015AbstractProblem: Remotely sensed land surface temperatures help exploring the surface urban heat island. Measures to mitigate the urban heat island include increasing green urban areas and altering the form of cities. Research is needed to explore the impacts of urban form on the surface urban heat island.

Urbanisation and Surface Urban Heat Island Intensity (SUHII)
2018A complete understanding of urban environment becomes increasingly important in the present world where more than half of the human population resides in the urban areas. A warmer surface temperature exists in the urban area due to change in land cover and population density, indicated as urban heat island (UHI).
