Localized synergies between heat waves and urban heat islands: Implications on human thermal comfort and urban heat management
Heat waves (HWs) and urban heat islands (UHIs) can potentially interact. The mechanisms
behind their synergy are not fully disclosed. Starting from the localized UHI phenomenon …
