Impacts of Some Surface Parameters on Urban Heat Island Development [PDF]

, 2012
Effects of two important surface parameters (distance from the center of the settlement and extent of evaporating surfaces) on development of urban heat island (UHI) are examined in the present paper.

Effects of the Western Pacific Subtropical High on the urban heat island characteristics in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China

Computational Urban Science
The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are frequently affected by the Western Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH) in summer. This leads to phenomena including air subsidence, high temperatures, low rainfall, and weak winds, all of which affect the
