Comparison of mediating effects of air pollutants on urban morphology and urban heat Island intensity at block scale

Scientific Reports
The urban heat island effect seriously challenges the sustainability and livability of urban development. Air pollutants (AP) may play a mediating role in the impact of urban morphology (UM) on the canopy layer urban heat island intensity (CLUHII) and ...

Assessing the impact of green spaces on the urban heat island effect

Geocarto International
Urban green spaces provide several ecosystem services, such as regulating microclimates and the urban heat island. This study applied the Earth Blox platform alongside the Google Earth Engine to evaluate the effect of urban green spaces on the urban heat

A SUBGRID SURFACE SCHEME FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND OF ROME

Hrvatski meteorološki časopis, 2008
This paper describes preliminary modifications to a mesoscale model to better account for urban heat-storage. The approach involves integrating the Town Energy Budget (TEB) with the Regional Atmospheric Modelling System (RAMS). The integrated system has been applied to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) of Rome, Italy, and the surrounding area (Lazio Region),
