It has long been known that the urban surface energy balance is different to that of a rural surface, and that heating of the urban surface after sunset gives rise to the Urban Heat Island (UHI). Less well known is how flow and turbulence structure above the urban surface are changed during different phases of the urban boundary layer (UBL). This paper presents new observations above both an ur...

Abstract Climate change and sustainability are among the most widely used terms policymakers scientific community in recent times. However, climate action or steps to sustainable growth cities global south mostly borrowed from general studies at a few large urban agglomerations developed world. There very modeling over Asia understand quantify impact of urbanization on even primary meteorologic...

With rapid urbanization, population growth and anthropogenic activities, an increasing number of major cities across the globe are facing severe urban heat islands (UHI). UHI can cause complex impacts on environment human health, it may bring more effects under heatwave (HW) conditions. In this paper, a holistic review is conducted to articulate findings synergies between HW corresponding mitig...

Abstract Urbanization and global warming are two of the major human impacts on environment. The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect can change precipitation patterns. Global also leads to changes in especially an increase intensity frequency extreme precipitation. With urbanization expected grow future, role UHI a warmer climate is important research question. We present results from 20-year long re...

Abstract Thermochromic materials change their optical response to temperature reversibly. This study explores the application of thermochromism road engineering, which is still incipient in this area, from two perspectives. The first one about development functionalized markings (FRM) working as thermochromic sensors alert presence ice on and, way, improve safety. second concerns functionalizat...

Like urban heat islands (UHI), human-induced land degradation (HLD) is a phenomenon attributed to human activities, but this phenomenon occurs in non-urban areas. Although a large body of work has demonstrated that land-cover change influences local climate systems, little work has been done on separating the impact of HLD from naturally-occurring fluctuations in very high-altitude areas. We de...

In the last decades, several studies have revealed how critical the urban heat island (UHI) effect can be in cities located in cold climates, such as the Canadian one. Meanwhile, many researchers have looked at the impact of the city design over the urban microclimate, and have raised concerns about the development of too dense cities. Under the effect of the “Places to Growth” plan, the city o...

Heat stress is one of the most severe climate threats to human society in a future warmer world. The situation is further exacerbated in urban areas by urban heat islands (UHIs). Because the majority of world’s population is projected to live in cities, there is a pressing need to find effective solutions for the heat stress problem. We use a climate model to investigate the effectiveness of va...

This paper explores the relationship between remote sensing measurements of land surface temperature and biophysical/socioeconomic data by utilizing the association rule mining technique. The surfaces associated with urban uses typically radiate more heat as compared to its rural counterparts. There is a need to quantitatively analyze this contrast in temperature and the biophysical and social ...
