Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study develops a method to identify the source areas of precipitation events, as illustrated for the western part of the Netherlands. Radar‐based precipitation data are traced back to their source areas and machine‐learning techniques are used to identify hypothesized causes: urban heat, surface roughness, and air pollution. We find that urban and

A statistical model for estimating mean maximum urban heat island [PDF]
, 2003 Investigations concentrated on the urban heat island (UHI) in its strongest development during the diurnal cycle. Task includes development of statistical models in the heating and non-heating seasons using urban surface parameters (built-up and water ...

Regulatory Framework and Public Policies for Sustainability in the Construction Sector
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analyzes the role of public policies in promoting socially responsible practices in the construction sector, with a particular focus on their contribution to climate neutrality and the decarbonization of the building stock. European agreements exert increasing pressure to transform the construction sector, reinforcing the transition

Modelling and monitoring tools to evaluate the Urban Heat Island's contribution to the risk of indoor overheating [PDF]
, 2017 The growth of cit ies increases urban surface areas and anthropogenic heat generation, causing an Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. In the UK , UHI effects may cause positive (winter) and negative (summer) health , comfort and energy consumption ...

Urban Air Pollution, Urban Heat Island and Human Health: A Review of the Literature
Sustainability, 2022 Many cities of the world suffer from air pollution because of poor planning and design and heavy traffic in rapidly expanding urban environments. These conditions are exacerbated due to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over the past few decades, the intensification of global warming has brought increased attention to urban thermal dynamics, particularly regarding Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the Urban Surface Heat Island (SUHI) effect. This study conducts a systematic literature review alongside a bibliometric analysis of 123 peer‐reviewed articles ...

Atmospheric impacts on daytime urban heat island [PDF]
, 2018 Daytime urban heat island effects can be weak compared to night time and even reversed (as in the case of cool islands, where urban locations display lower temperatures than at a rural site), mostly due to shading effects from buildings, vegetation, and ...
