Assessing the Urban Heat Island Effect Across Biomes in the Continental USA Using Landsat and MODIS [PDF]
, 2011 Impervious surface area (ISA) from the Landsat TM and land surface temperature (LST) from MODIS averaged over three annual cycles (2003-2005) are used in a spatial analysis to assess the urban heat island (UHI) skin temperature amplitude and its ...

Urban sprawl and thermal response in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, 2000–2020
Environmental Research CommunicationsThe urban heat island (UHI) environment is closely related to the daily life of residents, and the impact of UHI is further expanding in the era of rapid urbanization, which is particularly obvious in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration and ...

3D cities and numerical weather prediction models: An overview of the methods used in the LUCID project [PDF]
, 2009 Transferring spatial data between different types of spatial models is often a much trickier process than GIS professionals would like to admit. This is further complicated if the models were generated for very different purposes and at different levels ...

Redefining the urban heat island
, 2011 The effect of urban development on local thermal climate is ostensibly well documented in scientific literature. Since the nineteenth century, observations of “urban-rural” air temperature differences (ΔTu-r), or urban heat island magnitudes, have been reported for hundreds of cities worldwide.
