Observation Experiments and Analysis of Summer Urban Heat Island in Cold Region Based on Low-Altitude Dual-Source Remote Sensing: A Case Study of Zhengzhou University Main Campus

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Rapid urbanization worldwide has exacerbated the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Although studies on UHI effect have already become a hotspot, high-precision UHI investigations in cold regions utilizing remote sensing technologies are still underexplored.

Diurnal Air–Surface Temperature Dynamics in Hong Kong: An Analysis Across Land Use and Climate Zones

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 6, May 2026.
Daytime and nighttime air temperature (T a) from automatic weather stations and land surface temperature (T s) derived from ASTER and Landsat 8–9 are used to examine the relationship between T a and T s. The spatial and statistical characteristics of T a − T s dynamics are further analysed across land use (LU) and local climate zones (LCZ).

Quantifying the urban heat island (UHI) intensity in Hong Kong

, 2012
The definition and quantification of urban heat island (UHI), the air temperature differences between urban and rural areas, remains problematic. This is due, in large part, to the difficulty of operationalizing the terms “urban” and “rural”, especially with regard to classifying the weather stations that provide data.

Site‐Engineered Corundum‐Structured Aesthetic Composites for Alleviating Heat Accumulation to Mitigate Urban Heat Islands

Small, Volume 22, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban heat islands have become a global issue, as they severely impact several key factors, including elevated energy consumption, increased air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, compromised human health and comfort, and reduced water quality.

Features of Urban Heat Island in Mountainous Chongqing from a Dense Surface Monitoring Network

Atmosphere, 2019
The spatial and temporal features of urban heat island (UHI) intensity in complex urban terrain are barely investigated. This study examines the UHI intensity variations in mountainous Chongqing using a dense surface monitoring network.

Urban Heat Island (UHI) and heat waves: what relations?

, 2018
With four years of measurements and alarge sample of stations, the MUSTARDijon network allows for a detailed characterization of the Urban HeatIsland (UHI), a warm season phenomenon. But UHI and maximum temperature values are out of phase at twodistinct time-scales. Seasonally, the maxima of UHI occur from May to July, i.e.

Context-dependent relationships between street-level surface heat intensity, the sky view factor, and landscape patterns: Examples from the coastal city of Vancouver, Canada

Ecological Informatics
With climate change, some coastal urban regions once characterized by mild oceanic climates, are becoming increasingly hot in the summer. Urban design can modify urban landscapes to mitigate the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, but many strategies are ...

CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF ROOFTOPS, STREETSCAPES AND URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT: CASE STUDY OF CENTRAL SYDNEY

Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, 2015
Cities are frequently experiencing artificial heat stress, known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. The UHI effect is commonly present in cities due to increased urbanization, where anthropogenic heat and human modifications have altered the ...

Reduced Urban Heat Island intensity under warmer conditions

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
The Urban Heat Island (UHI), the tendency for urban areas to be hotter than rural regions, represents a significant health concern in summer as urban populations are exposed to elevated temperatures.
