The Impact of Energy Consumption on the Surface Urban Heat Island in China's 32 Major Cities
Supported by the rapid economic development in the last few decades, China has become the largest energy consumer in the world. Alongside this, the effect of the anthropogenic heat released from energy consumption is increasingly apparent. We quantified the daytime and nighttime surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) for the 32 major cities in mainland China, using MODIS land surface tempe...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal Variation in Surface Urban Heat Island Intensity and Associated Determinants across Major Chinese Cities
Urban heat islands (UHIs) created through urbanization can have negative impacts on the lives of people living in cities. They may also vary spatially and temporally over a city. There is, thus, a need for greater understanding of these patterns and their causes. While previous UHI studies focused on only a few cities and/or several explanatory variables, this research provides a comprehensive ...
متن کاملSurface urban heat island across 419 global big cities.
Urban heat island is among the most evident aspects of human impacts on the earth system. Here we assess the diurnal and seasonal variation of surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) defined as the surface temperature difference between urban area and suburban area measured from the MODIS. Differences in SUHII are analyzed across 419 global big cities, and we assess several potential biophy...
متن کاملUrban heat island features of southeast Australian towns
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the current urban heat island (UHI) effect in a number of southeast Australian towns and to provide discussion on its potential impact on the historical temperature record. High-quality long-term historical temperature data are fundamental in the examination of climate change. Observational datasets are essential for the monitoring of climate and...
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...
