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 surface urban heat island (SUHI), which represents the difference of land surface
temperature (LST) in urban relativity to neighboring non-urban surfaces, is usually …

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 …

There is currently a lack of knowledge regarding the spatiotemporal variation of day and
night surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) in the major cities of Bangladesh. These …

Despite research on urban heat island (UHI) effect has increased exponentially over the last
few decades, a systematic review of factors contributing to UHI effect has scarcely been …

Scientific contributions from remote sensing over the last fifty years have significantly
advanced our understanding of urban areas. Key contributions of urban remote sensing …

We develop a new algorithm, the simplified urban-extent (SUE) algorithm, to estimate the
surface urban heat island (UHI) intensity at a global scale. We implement the SUE algorithm …

Urban climate is determined by a variety of factors, whose knowledge can help to attenuate
heat stress in the context of ongoing urbanization and climate change. We study the …

Abstract Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Urban Pollution Island (UPI) are two major problems
of the urban environment and have become more serious with rapid urbanization. Since UHI …

Assessment of surface urban heat islands (SUHI) has been hampered by the lack of a
consistent framework to permit consistent interpretation between cities. Local Climate Zones …
