Environmental Influence on NbS (Nature-Based Solution) Mitigation of Diurnal Surface Urban Heat Islands (SUHI)

Remote Sensing
Utilizing 58 Landsat-7 images taken over 10 years, the current study investigated the relationship between the mitigation of surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) by NbSs (Nature-based Solutions) and influential variables such as physical variables of NbSs, environmental variables of the streets, and meteorological variables. Parks and permeable pavements

Assessing the impacts of vegetation loss and land surface temperature on Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) in Gazipur District, Bangladesh

Computational Urban Science
AbstractRapid replacement of vegetated land with impermeable land (built-up areas) is a major factor in the increase in Land Surface Temperature (LST), while increased LST worsens the temperature in cities and creates the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) effect.

Global Climatology of the Daytime Surface Cooling of Urban Parks Using Satellite Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 2, 28 January 2025.
Abstract Green infrastructure‐based heat mitigation strategies can help alleviate the overheating burden on urban residents. While the cooling effect of parks has been explored in individual satellite‐based studies, a global, multi‐year investigation has been lacking.

A Comprehensive Statistical Study on Daytime Surface Urban Heat Island during Summer in Urban Areas, Case Study: Cairo and Its New Towns

Remote Sensing, 2016
Surface urban heat island (SUHI) is defined as the elevated land surface temperature (LST) in urban area in comparison with non-urban areas, and it can influence the energy consumption, comfort and health of urban residents.

Role of Surface Energy Fluxes in Urban Overheating Under Buoyancy‐Driven Atmospheric Conditions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 129, Issue 13, 16 July 2024.
Abstract Urbanization alters land surface properties in absorbing, reflecting and emitting radiation as well as infiltrating, evaporating and storing water. This consequently modifies surface energy and water fluxes and, thus, urban climates. Weak synoptic flow, clear sky conditions and higher surface temperatures in cities compared to their rural ...

Numerical Studies on the Influence of Building Morphology on Urban Canopy Wind Speed

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Buildings increase the urban surface roughness and reduce near‐surface wind speeds in the urban canopy due to the drag effect. Urban heat storage and other effects cause urban warming as well, which decreases the urban boundary layer stability and enhances the turbulence exchange between upper and lower layer.

Satellite Clear‐Sky Observations Overestimate Surface Urban Heat Islands in Humid Cities

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 2, 28 January 2024.
Abstract Satellite‐based thermal infrared (TIR) land surface temperature (LST) is hindered by cloud cover and is applicable solely under clear‐sky conditions for estimating surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII). Clear‐sky SUHII may not accurately represent all‐sky conditions, potentially introducing quantitative biases in assessing urban heat ...

Improved Surface Urban Heat Impact Assessment Using GOES Satellite Data: A Comparative Study With ERA‐5

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 1, 16 January 2024.
Abstract We compare high‐resolution land‐surface temperature (LST) estimates from the GOES‐16/17 (GOES) satellites to ERA‐5 Land (ERA‐5) reanalysis data across nine large US cities. We quantify the offset and find that ERA‐5 generally overestimates LST compared to GOES by 1.63°C.

A Methodology for Comparing the Surface Urban Heat Island in Selected Urban Agglomerations Around the World from Sentinel-3 SLSTR Data

Remote Sensing, 2020
Retrieval of land surface temperature (LST) from satellite data allows to estimate the surface urban heat island (SUHI) as the difference between the LST obtained in the urban area and the LST of its surroundings.
