Modeling the urban heat island at a winter event in Três Lagoas, Brazil
(2021-05-01)
The urban heat island is one of the most investigated environmental problems at the local climate scale. It is a thermal anomaly resulting from the difference in temperature between urban areas and the surrounding rural ...
Assessment of urban heat Islands in small- and mid-sized cities in Brazil
(2017-03-01)
Urban heat islands (UHIs) in large cities and different climatic regions have been thoroughly studied; however, their effects are becoming a common concern in smaller cities as well. We assessed UHIs in three tropical ...
Spatiotemporal analysis of the atmospheric and surface urban heat islands of the Metropolitan Area of Toluca, Mexico
(Springer, 2017)
The dynamic of consolidation of urban areas inLatin America has allowed that almost 80% of the popula-tion concentrates in cities; this has produced changes in landcovers and modified regional climate, propitiating ...
Day and night surface and atmospheric heat islands in a continental and temperate tropical environment
(2021-07-01)
Urban areas cause several transformations in the landscape through the replacement of vegetation and permeable soils for buildings and waterproofing of surfaces. Such changes result in a different energy balance according ...
REMOTE SENSING OF SURFACE HEAT ISLANDS: EXAMPLES OF SMALL- AND MEDIUM - SIZED CITIES IN THE TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT, BRAZIL
(Univ Lisboa, Fac Letters, Centro Estudos Classicos, 2017-01-01)
The purpose of this article is to identify how island surface heat is spatialized in small - and medium - sized cities through the use of images of the thermal infrared channel of the Landsat 8 satellite. It thus intends ...
Daily evolution of urban heat islands in a Brazilian tropical continental climate during dry and rainy periods
(2020-12-01)
High temperatures are typically recorded in tropical continental climate regions, with heat intensified by urban heat islands. This research attempts to investigate the intensity and maintenance of heat islands in the lower ...
Urban heat islands in small and medium-sized cities in Brazil and the context of climate change
(Revues Org, 2020-01-01)
Since the constitution of the planet, the climate has been both warmer and colder, and both drier and more humid than current conditions. Nevertheless, we are facing strong changes in the natural landscape resulting from ...
Spatial variability and intensity frequency of surface heat island in a Brazilian city with continental tropical climate through remote sensing
(2018-01-01)
Tropical cities located in inland Brazil typically have high temperatures that are extremely uncomfortable and detrimental to their population's health. This article analyzes the spatial variability of target temperatures, ...
SURFACE HEAT ISLANDS: FREQUENCY OF SPATIAL INTENSITY AND VARIABILITY IN A CITY WITH A CONTINENTAL TROPICAL CLIMATE
(Univ Estado Rio Janeiro, 2019-01-01)
The purpose of this article was to analyze the spatial distribution of target temperatures and the frequency of surface heat island intensities in areas with characteristics relating to land use, vegetation cover, densities ...
Analysis of the urban heat island in the Andean environment of Cuenca-Ecuador
(2018)
The Urban heat island (UHI) is defined as being the thermal difference between the city and rural area. Due to the importance of this phenomenon it is studied on a global level. However, in Andean cities its geography makes ...
