Urban heat island (UHI) effects can strengthen heat waves and air pollution episodes. In this study, the dampening impact of urban trees on the UHI during an extreme heat wave in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, metropolitan area is examined by incorporating trees, soil, and grass into the coupled Weather Research and Forecasting model and an urban canopy model (WRF-UCM). By param...

The purpose of this study is to statistically evaluate the impact urban forestry on heat Island in Umuahia city, located Eastern Nigeria using Land Surface Temperature (LST) time series. LST datasets were extracted from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS, MYD11A2 V6) satellite Python and JavaScript Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. Two microclimate environments considered na...

The globe is at a crossroads in terms of the urban heat island effect, with rising surface temperatures due to urbanization and an expanding built environment. This cause-and-effect connection may be linked weather-related dangers, natural disasters, disease outbreaks. Urbanization industrialization will not lead secure sustainable future. Finding solutions problems such as effect forefront sci...

A city's ecology and energy use can be affected by an urban heat island (UHI). However, its role in exacerbating populations' stress has been extensively studied. This study reviewed summarized the literature on UHI, causes, effects. After that, characteristics of population vulnerability are examined. The results studies health effects, potential mitigation tactics existing settlements show ne...

In this study Yan'an City, a typical hilly valley city, was considered as the study area in order to explain the relationships between the surface urban heat island (SUHI) and land use/land cover (LULC) types, the landscape pattern metrics of LULC types and land surface temperature (LST) and remote sensing indexes were retrieved from Landsat data during 1990-2015, and to find factors contribute...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In the Carpathian Basin, the most northern populations of Phlebotomus (sandfly) species, including the two studied species (Phlebotomus mascittii and Phlebotomus neglectus), are reported from central Hungary. The most important limiting factor of the distribution of Phlebotomus species in the region is the annual minimum temperature which may be positively affected by th...
