Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Coastal cities face critical challenges in managing ozone pollution because of high population density and complex interactions between urbanization and coastal meteorology. Using New York City (NYC) as a case study, this work examines how urban surfaces influence heatwaves, sea‐breeze circulations, and boundary‐layer dynamics, and how these ...

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.

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.

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 2051-2069, April 2026.Satellite (MODIS) mapping links Urban Heat Island (UHI) intensity to city‐scale energy demand—higher daytime cooling demand and altered nighttime heating demand—supporting targeted mitigation and planning. ABSTRACT This study examines the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect on building energy consumption in Tehran from 1998 to 2024, utilizing MODIS
