The urban heat island (UHI) effect, i.e. the characteristic warmth of a settlement compared with its surroundings, is the best-known climatic response to disruptions caused by urban development. If your car has a thermometer the warmth is relatively easy to observe from the profile of temperatures as you cross a town or city, especially at night and

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 1992
Abstract The phenomenon of an urban heat island was investigated by the use of Landsat/Thematic Mapper data sets collected over the metropolitan area of Washington, DC. By combining the derived spectral albedos and temperatures, surface energy composites of five surface categories were analysed.

The urban heat island of Milan
Il Nuovo Cimento C, 1992Heat island contribution to the 148 year temperature series of Milan is evaluated by comparing Milan urban series with Milan airport series and with other European and North Hemispheric series. The heat island trend is then compared with the growth of the city radius and finally two relations between the city radius and the efffects of the heat island ...

Hard urban surfaces (concrete and asphalt) absorb solar radiation and re-radiate it as heat; and industry, transport and air-conditioning release waste heat to atmosphere. This urban heat island (UHI) effect is the most documented phenomenon of climate change.

Urban Climate, 2014
Abstract This paper contains a short review of urban ‘heat islands’. This phenomenon exists in cities almost all over the world with the exception of only some specific areas (e.g., – tropical deserts). It may exist in space field of different meteorological parameters such as air temperature, soil temperature, snow cover depth, dates of frosts, etc.

Glasgow as an urban Heat‐Island
Scottish Geographical Magazine, 1977Abstract An investigation is made into the effect of the urban area on the microclimate of Glasgow, using data gathered by a series of mobile traverses. The study showed a maximum “heat‐island” to occur under clear skies, light winds and anticyclonic conditions.
