Regarding Some Pitfalls in Urban Heat Island Studies Using Remote Sensing Technology
Remote Sensing, 2021 This paper attempts to illustrate the complexity of thermal infrared (TIR) data analysis for urban heat island studies. While a certain shift regarding the use of correct scientific nomenclature (using the term “surface urban heat island”) could be ...

NIR reflective pigments to mitigate the urban heat islands effect (UHIE) [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 For building applications, coatings are needed in order to obtain an attractive appearance and protection against the outdoor environments. Buildings are responsible for consumption of cooling energy. Cool coatings applied over buildings surface provide an effective solution for passive cooling of building indoors and influencing local outdoor ...

ANALYSIS OF THE INTRA-CITY VARIATION OF URBAN HEAT ISLAND AND ITS RELATION TO LAND SURFACE/COVER PARAMETERS [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 Along with urbanization, sealing of vegetated land and evaporation surfaces by impermeable materials, lead to changes in urban climate. This phenomenon is observed as temperatures several degrees higher in densely urbanized areas compared to the rural ...

Investigating the synergies between the Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Heatwaves (HWs)
, 2022 Abstract South Asian cities are now experiencing high-intensity of heatwaves. Heatwaves (HWs) severely threaten human health, particularly in urbanized areas more susceptible to the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Due to climate change, heatwaves are becoming stronger, coupled with the intensity of urbanization, exacerbating the thermal risk ...

Statistically Validated Urban Heat Island Risk Indicators for UHI Susceptibility Assessment
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023 This research proposes a collection of urban heat island (UHI) risk indicators under four UHI risk components: hazard, exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. There are 46 UHI risk indicators linked to three pillars of sustainability: social equity, economic viability, and environmental protection.
