Ecohydrologic Processes Modify Urban Rainfall Intensification in Land‐Atmosphere Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Ecohydrologic processes influence urban water and energy cycles including convective rainfall. Coupled land‐atmosphere models, however, lack fine‐scale representation of urban ecohydrology processes. This study integrates these processes into ensemble land‐atmosphere simulations to assess changes in convective rainfall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Spatially Heterogeneous Impacts of Urbanization in Reshaping the Dry and Hot Extremes Across Chinese Cities

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Escalating climatic hazards have posed considerable challenges to urban resilience and sustainable development. By integrating national‐scale meteorological data, this research elucidates how urbanization reshapes the dry and hot extremes across China at various temporal scales and within a regional framework.

Observation Experiments and Analysis of Summer Urban Heat Island in Cold Region Based on Low-Altitude Dual-Source Remote Sensing: A Case Study of Zhengzhou University Main Campus

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Rapid urbanization worldwide has exacerbated the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Although studies on UHI effect have already become a hotspot, high-precision UHI investigations in cold regions utilizing remote sensing technologies are still underexplored.

Unlocking Urban Climate Change Analysis in Global Kilometer‐Scale Climate Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Coupled multi‐decadal global km‐scale simulations completed in recent years open new perspectives in the investigation and understanding of urban climate change. This study introduces a generic method for extracting urban areas and their rural references worldwide and validates it on hourly timescales with remote‐sensing observations of land ...

Context-dependent relationships between street-level surface heat intensity, the sky view factor, and landscape patterns: Examples from the coastal city of Vancouver, Canada

Ecological Informatics
With climate change, some coastal urban regions once characterized by mild oceanic climates, are becoming increasingly hot in the summer. Urban design can modify urban landscapes to mitigate the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, but many strategies are ...
