Land surface temperature (LST) is a crucial parameter that reflects land–atmosphere
interaction and has thus attracted wide interest from geoscientists. Owing to the rapid …

Urban environments lie at the confluence of social, cultural, and economic activities and
have unique biophysical characteristics due to continued infrastructure development that …

Increasing concern over urban heat mitigation creates an emerging necessity to track the
evolution of urban heat island intensity (UHII) to assess the effectiveness of existing plans in …

Urban Heat Islands (UHI) consist of the occurrence of higher temperatures in urbanized
areas when compared to rural areas. During the warmer seasons, this effect can lead to …

The ubiquitous nature of satellite data has led to an explosion of studies on the surface
urban heat island (SUHI). Relatively few have simultaneously used air temperature …

Urbanization experiences different speeds and forms under diverse development stages
across the globe. However, urbanization-induced impacts on long-term surface urban heat …

Land Surface Temperature (LST) is an important parameter for many scientific disciplines
since it affects the interaction between the land and the atmosphere. Many LST retrieval …

Due to the scarcity of air temperature (T a) observations, urban heat studies often rely on
satellite-derived Land Surface Temperature (LST) to characterise the near-surface thermal …

There is a growing demand for urban form optimization to mitigate urban heat island (UHI)
effect. Nevertheless, how UHI responds to various urban morphological patterns is still …

Surface temperature is often used to examine heat exposure in multi‐city studies and for
informing urban heat mitigation efforts due to scarcity of urban air temperature …
