Urban climates have existed ever since the first human settlements altered the natural environment thousands of years ago. During the first century ce, Pliny the Elder recorded anecdotal accounts about the differences between the air in ancient Rome and the air in rural surroundings.

As global warming continues, we are facing another significant issue: the temperature increases during summer in urban areas due to a factor other than global warming. The urban heat island (UHI) is a phenomenon that occurs when the temperature in an urban area becomes higher than that in a suburban area. Moreover, as urbanization advances year by year,

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

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.

Satellite-Derived Subsurface Urban Heat Island
Environmental Science & Technology, 2014The subsurface urban heat island (SubUHI) is one part of the overall UHI specifying the relative warmth of urban ground temperatures against the rural background. To combat the challenge on measuring extensive underground temperatures with in situ instruments, we utilized satellite-based moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer data to reconstruct

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.

Global Urban Heat Island Mitigation
2022Global Urban Heat Island Mitigation provides a comprehensive picture of global UHI micro-thermal interaction in different built environments. The book explains physical principles and how to moderate undesirable consequences of swift and haphazard urban development to create more sustainable and resilient cities.
