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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Socioeconomic inequalities and the surface heat island distribution in Santiago, Chile
(Elsevier B.V., 2022)
© 2022 Elsevier B.V.Surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) are an important socio-environmental problem associated with large cities, such as the Santiago Metropolitan Area (SMA), in Chile. Here, we analyze daytime and nighttime ...
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 ...
Spatial modeling of an urban Brazilian heat island in a tropical continental climate
(2019-06-01)
Because climate aspects should be an important consideration when structuring urban spaces, this paper reports the results of combined field measurements and surface sensing data analyzed using statistical calculations. ...
The influence of urban heat Islands and socioeconomic factors on the spatial distribution of Aedes aegypti larval habitats
(2018-05-07)
We addressed the potential associations among the temporal and spatial distribution of larval habitats of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti, the presence of urban heat islands and socioeconomic factors. Data on larval habitats ...
