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 …

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 …

Variation in urban microclimate is closely related to the three-dimensional characteristics of
cities. To reveal the influence of urban spatial forms on land surface temperature (LST), the …

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 …

Urban heat islands (UHI) in a city tend to vary with changes in time and space. To effectively
cope with the accelerating intensity of UHI due to global warming and the resulting damage …

Owing to increasing population densities and impervious surface areas, heat island effects
increasingly dominate urban environments and hinder sustainable development. The urban …

Abstract Knowledge of building height is critical for understanding the urban development
process. High-resolution optical satellite images can provide fine spatial details within urban …

Urban microclimates have undergone extreme changes against the current backdrop of
global warming and rapid urbanization. Although several studies on the spatiotemporal …

Urban heat islands (UHIs) exert a substantially negative impact on human health and urban
sustainability. The role of two-dimensional (2D) landscape patterns in UHIs are well …

Urban morphology significantly affects the urban thermal environment. Seasonal impacts of
two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) urban morphology on land surface …
