Update of the Urban Heat Island of Madrid and Its Influence on the Building's Energy Simulation [PDF]

, 2017
Despite great advances on building energy evaluation, available climate data does not include the effects of the Urban Heat Island (UHI). This phenomenon, which increases the temperature in urban areas, is variable in both time and space, and implies an ...

Urban Impacts on Precipitation in the Greater Ho Chi Minh City Metropolitan Area, Vietnam

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Urban impacts on precipitation have been extensively studied in mid‐latitude developed countries. However, despite the recent rapid urban development, such studies focusing on Southeast Asian cities remain limited. This study evaluated urban impacts on precipitation in the Greater Ho Chi Minh City Metropolitan area (GHCM) by multi‐case ...

Characterizing urban heat islands in karst areas-the case of Kunming and Guiyang in Southwest China

Frontiers in Built Environment
Urban heat island (UHI) has posed a threat to sustainable development, and the identification of the spatial characteristics of UHI is a prerequisite for the mitigation of UHI effects. Taking Kunming City and Guiyang City in the karst region of Southwest

Karakteristik Kondisi Urban Heat Island DKI Jakarta [PDF]

, 2013
DKI Jakarta area with high CO2 emission and 84,95 % of built-up areas (year of 2009) cause urban heat island (UHI). To overcome UHI problems, its characteristics must be known. Trend analysis of surface temperature areas was conducted by comparison of

Urban Shrinkage and Surface Urban Heat Islands: Does Population Decline Lead to Cooling? A Spatiotemporal Analysis of China's 89 Shrinking Cities (2001–2019)

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Numerous studies have examined how urban expansion exacerbates Surface Urban Heat Island intensity (SUHII), yet limited attention has been paid to whether and how urban shrinkage mitigates SUHII. This study employed multiple models to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of surface urban heat island (SUHI) and its driving factors in 89 ...
