Assessing the Urban Heat Island Effect Across Biomes in the Continental USA Using Landsat and MODIS [PDF]
, 2011 Impervious surface area (ISA) from the Landsat TM and land surface temperature (LST) from MODIS averaged over three annual cycles (2003-2005) are used in a spatial analysis to assess the urban heat island (UHI) skin temperature amplitude and its ...

An Investigation into Minimizing Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effects: A UK Perspective
Energy Procedia, 2014 AbstractCities are major sources of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and the effects of mass urbanization upon the environment have now become clear. Great opportunities exist within cities for tackling climate change. Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a phenomenon where significant temperature difference between inner micro-climates of a city and their

Urban heat island (UHI) influence on secondary pollutant formation in a tropical humid environment [PDF]
Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 2017 The combined action of urbanization (change in land use) and increase in vehicular emissions intensifies the urban heat island (UHI) effect in many cities in the developed countries. The urban warming (UHI) enhances heat-stress-related diseases and ozone (O3) levels due to a photochemical reaction.

Unifying the Scaling of Urban Heat Island With Surface Heat Flux Under Calm Conditions
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.Abstract How the urban heat island effect (UHI) responds to surface heat flux is a central question in urban climate research. Previous studies have reported two distinct scaling relations: nighttime UHI scales with heat flux to the one‐third power, while daytime UHI scales with heat flux to the two‐thirds power.

Seasonal and Spatial Characteristics of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs) in Northern West Siberian Cities [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2017 Anthropogenic heat and modified landscapes raise air and surface temperatures in urbanized areas around the globe. This phenomenon is widely known as an urban heat island (UHI). Previous UHI studies, and specifically those based on remote sensing data, have not included cities north of 60°N.

Diurnal Air–Surface Temperature Dynamics in Hong Kong: An Analysis Across Land Use and Climate Zones
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 6, May 2026.Daytime and nighttime air temperature (T a) from automatic weather stations and land surface temperature (T s) derived from ASTER and Landsat 8–9 are used to examine the relationship between T a and T s. The spatial and statistical characteristics of T a − T s dynamics are further analysed across land use (LU) and local climate zones (LCZ).
