Karst spring discharge trend (the change in discharge over a period greater than 30 years for each spring) does not depend on discharge variability. Insets show two springs with contrasting discharge variability (variable vs. extremely high variability) but similar discharge trends.

A climate‐sensitive tropical urbanism under extreme heat†
Tropical urban dwellers face twin climate challenges that impinge on their quality of life: climate overheating and the urban heat island (UHI). The latter superimposed on the former to lead to high levels of thermal discomfort, carbon and energy consequences.

Comparison of Cold and Warm Extremes in the Mediterranean Based on E‐OBS and ERA5‐Land Data Sets
Abstract Accurate characterization of temperature extremes is essential for climate risk assessment, particularly in regions highly sensitive to climate change like the Mediterranean Basin. This study compares near‐surface temperatures from E‐OBS and ERA5‐Land, focusing on warm (>90th percentile) and cold (<10th percentile) extremes.

Deep Spatially Varying Coefficient Model for Interpolation of Non‐Stationary Meteorological Data
ABSTRACT In spatial statistics, the spatially varying coefficient model (SVCM) is widely applied in the analysis and interpolation of non‐stationary spatial data. By incorporating spatially varying coefficients, the model can capture spatial heterogeneity and provide an attractive interpretation of response‐covariate associations.

SPATIAL VARIATION OF URBAN HEAT ISLAND INTENSITY IN URBAN CITIES USING MODIS SATELLITE DATA [PDF]
Urban Heat Island (UHI) refers to the occurrence of higher temperatures in urban areas than the neighbouring rural areas. The neighbouring land cover also has some influence on the urban temperatures.

Characterising City Scale Heat Climatology for Australian Climate Zones
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Australian cities peaks at night, intensifying under dry conditions, clear skies, increased solar radiation, and low wind speeds. Long‐term observations show that nighttime temperatures in major cities have warmed faster than their rural surroundings and future climate projections fail to capture this disparity ...

Abstract The annual mean Surface Air Temperature (SAT) observed during 1757–1762 in central Beijing was 3.1°C lower than that of the nearby Autonomous Weather Stations (AWS) in recent 6 years (2015–2020). The change was much larger than the averaged global warming of the past century.

Air quality and heat-related health impacts of increasing urban greenery cover
Green spaces and vegetation cover offer various environmental benefits, including air quality improvements and mitigation of the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Several UHI mitigation policies promoted over the last years in the Greater Toronto Area have

Abstract The planetary boundary layer (PBL) over Chicago is strongly modulated by interactions between the lake breeze and the urban heat island (UHI). This study focuses on characterizing the thermodynamic and kinematic processes governing the Chicago UHI and its interaction with the cooler air from Lake Michigan.
