How to convert urban energy balance into contributions to urban excess temperatures?

open access: yesMethodsX, 2019
A new approach partitioning the urban heat island intensity (ΔT) into its contributing processes is developed for the neighbourhood scale. The method transforms individual terms of the energy balance (radiation, evapotranspiration, heat storage, and ...

Urban heat island in the subsurface

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2007
The urban heat island effect has received significant attention in recent years due to the possible effect on long‐term meteorological records. Recent studies of this phenomenon have suggested that this may not be important to estimates of regional climate change once data are properly corrected.
