Optimization Methods of Urban Green Space Layout on Tropical Islands to Control Heat Island Effects
Energies, 2022 With the rapid increase in demand for the construction and development of island cities in the South China Sea, the urban heat island phenomenon in such cities should become a key factor to be considered in future urban planning.

The combined impact of urban heat island, thermal bridge effect of buildings and future climate change on the potential overwintering of Phlebotomus species in a Central European metropolis [PDF]
, 2014 Leishmaniasis is one of the most important emerging vector-borne diseases in Western Eurasia. Although winter minimum temperatures limit the present geographical distribution of the vector Phlebotomus species, the heat island effect of the cities and the

Data and techniques for studying the urban heat island effect in Johannesburg [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015 The city of Johannesburg contains over 10 million trees and is often referred to as an urban forest. The intra-urban spatial variability of the levels of vegetation across Johannesburg’s residential regions has an influence on the urban heat island ...

Atmospheric impacts on daytime urban heat island [PDF]
, 2018 Daytime urban heat island effects can be weak compared to night time and even reversed (as in the case of cool islands, where urban locations display lower temperatures than at a rural site), mostly due to shading effects from buildings, vegetation, and ...

The Energy Model of Urban Heat Island
Atmosphere, 2022 Despite the fact that the presence of a heat island over a city was established quite a long time ago, now there is no versatile algorithm for the determination of the urban heat island intensity.

Effect of Sampietrini Pavers on Urban Heat Islands [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 Cool pavements are reflective and/or permeable pavements that improve microclimate of urban areas where heat islands cause discomfort to citizens. Stone pavements lower surface temperatures and reduce the amount of heat absorbed. This study assessed, using ENVI-met 4.3 LITE software, how air temperature and predicted mean vote depend on physical ...

Effects of Urban Redevelopment on Surface Urban Heat Island
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023 Urban expansion and urban redevelopment can affect the surface urban heat island (SUHI) phenomenon, a major topic in the study of urban climates. The effects of urban expansion on SUHI have been studied by numerous researchers, while the effects of urban redevelopment remain unclear.
