Urban heat island monitoring and intelligent prediction method based on big data analysis
Sustainable Energy ResearchFrequent extreme heat events in urban areas have brought growing public attention to the urban heat island effect. However, traditional monitoring techniques are unable to handle high-dimensional data, which limits their application in real-world ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Four decades of UTCI data show increasing thermal stress along Ghana's coastal‐urban corridor, with very strong heat‐stress days rising by about 1.4 days/year. Random Forest–SHAP analysis with temporal validation identified AOD as the strongest model‐based predictor of monthly UTCI variability, followed by TSA, WHWP, and AMO.

Remote Sensing-Based Research on Urban Heat Island Effect [PDF]
MATEC Web of ConferencesThis paper focuses on the urban heat island effect under rapid urbanisation. It examines the application of remote sensing technology to monitor this effect. First, it defines the urban heat island effect. It points out its negative impacts.

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Observed trends and EC‐Earth3 climate model projections demonstrate expressive changes in the Southeast Atlantic Hydrographic Basin, Brazil. Significant increases in rainfall intensity and dry spell duration in the present climate are followed by projected amplification of extreme precipitation under future warming, particularly under the SSP5‐8.5 ...

Intra-urban relationship between surface geometry and urban heat island: review and new approach [PDF]
, 2004 This paper provides a comprehensive review of the intra-urban sky view factor (SVF)–temperature relationship. A new approach to reveal the real connection between SVF and air temperature in an entire city is presented.

Urban Forests for Carbon Sequestration and Heat Island Mitigation [PDF]
, 2022 Urban forests serve both as a carbon sequestration pool and heat island mitigation tool. Climate change will increase the frequency and severity of urban heat islands. Thus, new urban planning strategies demand our attention.

White light reduces flight height of birds in low‐density migration corridor
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We conducted an experiment to better understand the effects of artificial light at night treatments of varying spectral power distributions on in‐flight migratory bird behavior as measured by a portable radar. Broad‐spectrum white light emissions reduced avian flight height as compared to dark periods and more than other light treatments.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Urban resilience and ecosystem health are essential foundations for regional sustainable development, yet their coupled and coordinated relationships remain insufficiently explored at the urban‐agglomeration scale. Taking the 13 prefecture‐level cities in the Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei urban agglomeration as the study area and using panel data for ...
