Surface Urban Heat Island in Middle City: Spatial and Temporal Characteristics

Urban Science, 2020
Currently, cities have aroused the interest of researchers due the local climate change caused by the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect. The impact of anthropogenic land use and cover changes has led to more frequent intense SUHI, with direct ...

Grading surface urban heat island and investigating factor weight based on interpretable deep learning model across global cities

Environment International, 2023
Significant urbanization resulted in increasing surface urban heat island (SUHI) that caused negative impacts on urban ecological environment, and residential comfort. Accurately monitoring the spatiotemporal variations and understanding controls of SUHI

Impact of Reduced Anthropogenic Emissions Associated With COVID-19 Lockdown on PM_2.5 Concentration and Canopy Urban Heat Island in Canada. [PDF]

Geohealth
Abstract Extensive lockdowns during the COVID‐19 pandemic caused a remarkable decline in human activities that have influenced urban climate, especially air quality and urban heat islands. However, the impact of such changes on local climate based on long term ground‐level observations has hitherto not been investigated.

Local Climate Zones to Identify Surface Urban Heat Islands: A Systematic Review

Remote Sensing, 2023
The Land Surface Temperature (LST) obtained by remote sensing data is an essential indicator for analyzing the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI). A factor contributing to its occurrence is the reflections of the different materials in urban and rural ...

Evaluation of surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect on coastal zone: The case of Istanbul Megacity

Ocean & Coastal Management, 2015
Urban expansion and development have greatly altered Land Use/Cover (LULC) structure in worldwide scale. Changing LULC types have some important side effects on evaporation and transmittance processes. Atmospheric air-land interactions are greatly influenced by LULC types.

Quantifying diurnal and seasonal variation of surface urban heat island intensity and its associated determinants across different climatic zones over Indian cities

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2021
Surface urban heat island (SUHI) is a major anthropogenic alteration of Earth’s surface and can influence the local thermal environment by altering the surface energy flux balances. Researchers have paid much attention to SUHI studies in the last decades;
