The urban heat island effect and city contiguity
Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, 2015Abstract The spatial configuration of cities can affect how urban environments alter local energy balances. Previous studies have reached the paradoxical conclusions that both sprawling and high-density urban development can amplify urban heat island intensities, which has prevented consensus on how best to mitigate the urban heat island effect via ...

Effect of the Urban Heat Island on Aerosol pH
Environmental Science & Technology, 2017The urban heat island (UHI) is a widely observed phenomenon whereby urban environments have higher temperatures and different relative humidities than surrounding suburban and rural areas. Temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) strongly affect the partitioning of semivolatile species found in the atmosphere, such as nitric acid, ammonia, and water.

Effects of urbanization on the urban heat island in Beirut
Urban Climate, 2015Abstract Given the growing urban populations in Beirut city and the increasing need for more housing and infrastructure, the impacts of the UHI can be felt more deeply. A recent study shows the close link between high temperatures and mortality in Beirut and the strong correlation between population growth and rising maximum and minimum temperatures ...

Energy aspects of urban planning. The urban heat island effect
CSE - City Safety Energy, 2013The research aims to analyze the tight relationship between the conformation of the city and the urban climate. The “heat island” phenomenon, typical of big urban centers, has a great impact on external temperatures, causing their increase compared to the surrounding rural areas.
