Toronto's Urban Heat Island - Exploring the Relationship between Land Use and Surface Temperature
The urban heat island effect is linked to the built environment and threatens human health during extreme heat events. In this study, we analyzed whether characteristic land uses within an urban area are associated with higher or lower surface temperatures, and whether concentrations of ―hot‖ land uses exacerbate this relationship. Zonal statistics on a thermal remote sensing image for the City...
متن کاملUrban Heat Island
We are all familiar with the fact that cities are generally warmer than the surrounding, more rural areas. We see it referenced most nights in our television weather reports. It is especially significant on nights with clear skies and light winds which favor radiational cooling. This is most significant in the rural areas but in the city, the excess heat absorbed during the day and the local he...

متن کاملTHIS - Tool for Heat Island Simulation: A GIS extension model to calculate urban heat island intensity based on urban geometry
This paper presents a simulation model, which was incorporated into a Geographic Information System (GIS), in order to calculate the maximum intensity of urban heat islands based on urban geometry data. The methodology of this study stands on a theoretical-numerical basis (Oke’s model), followed by the study and selection of existing GIS tools, the design of the calculation model, the incorpora...
