The urban thermal and wind environment (UTWE) has become a major concern in urban
planning design. Consideration of the UTWE involves steps of modelling, assessment, and …

In modern cities, the block geometry and land cover feature directly affect the heat transfer
between ground surface and atmosphere, resulting in significant differences of local …

There is a scientific consensus on the need for spatially detailed information on urban
landscapes at a global scale. These data can support a range of environmental services …

The Urban heat island (UHI) effect is an increasingly serious problem in urban areas.
Information on the driving forces of intra-urban temperature variation is crucial for …

Global climate change presents considerable heating risks to cities, necessitating the
assessment of heat vulnerability characteristics in urban areas for the advancement of …

Rapid urbanization has caused radical changes in urban climates. As a result, issues
related to urban thermal environments have become more prominent. Finding a balance …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect has significant implications on urban development,
human health, and climate change. Local climate zones (LCZs) provide an objective and …

Previous studies of the effects of regional climate conditions on urban heat islands (UHIs)
focused mostly on surface UHIs, whereas few considered canopy layer UHIs. In the present …

This study aims to assess the impact of neighborhood-scale urban heat island (UHI) on the
energy performance of buildings. Hourly air temperature and relative humidity were …

Atmospheric and surface urban heat islands (UHI) originate from common energetic
processes, but the status of scientific knowledge on their time evolution is highly disparate …
