Urban heat islands in the Arctic cities: an updated compilation of in situ and remote-sensing estimations [PDF]
Advances in Science and Research, 2021 Persistent warm urban temperature anomalies – urban heat islands (UHIs) – significantly enhance already amplified climate warming in the Arctic. Vulnerability of urban infrastructure in the Arctic cities urges a region-wide study of the UHI intensity and
