“…Landscape structure consists of anthropogenic and natural components and their spatial pattern [6,7]. Building materials and non-vegetative surface (bare soil) can trap solar radiation [8] in the daytime and then re-radiate during the nighttime due to the decline in albedo [9]. They are one of the reasons for the increasing land surface temperature (LST), which can also be the cause of the fluctuation of surface energy balance [10].…”

Urbanization has bloomed across Asia and Africa of late, while two centuries ago, it was confined to developed regions in the largest urban agglomerations. The changing urban landscape can cause irretrievable changes to the biophysical environment, including changes in the spatiotemporal pattern of the land surface temperature (LST). Understanding these variations in the LST will help us introduce appropriate mitigation techniques to overcome negative impacts. The research objective was to assess the impact of landscape structure on the variation in LST in the African region as a geospatial approach in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 1986–2016 with fifteen-year intervals. Land use and land cover (LULC) mapping and LST were derived by using pre-processed Landsat data (Level 2). Gradient analysis was computed for the pattern of the LST from the city center to the rural area, while intensity calculation was facilitated to analyze the magnitude of LST. Directional variation of the LST was not covered by the gradient analysis. Hence, multidirectional and multitemporal LST profiles were employed over the orthogonal and diagonal directions. The result illustrated that Addis Ababa had undergone rapid expansion. In 2016, the impervious surface (IS) had dominated 33.8% of the total lands. The IS fraction ratio of the first zone (URZ1) has improved to 66.2%, 83.7%, and 87.5%, and the mean LST of URZ1 has improved to 25.2 °C, 26.6 °C, and 29.6 °C in 1986, 2001, and 2016, respectively. The IS fraction has gradually been declining from the city center to the rural area. The behavior of the LST is not continually aligning with a pattern of IS similar to other cities along the URZs. After the specific URZs (zone 17, 37, and 41 in 1986, 2001, and 2016, respectively), the mean LST shows an increasing trend because of a fraction of bare land. This trend is different from those of other cities even in the tropical regions. The findings of this study are useful for decision makers to introduce sustainable landscape and urban planning to create livable urban environments in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

“…As a response to the conditions described, hourly mean soil temperature values of the top layers (T 5cm and T 15cm ) also show higher variability than do daily mean soil temperature values. Therefore, in contrast to what occurs in bare soils of mid and high latitude regions (e.g., Oliveira et al, 2001;Awe et al, 2015;Staniec & Nowak, 2016), in bare soils of equatorial regions, the pattern of temperature at a given depth does not vary throughout the year. Contrary to Staniec and Nowak's (2016) findings, we do not expect that subsurface soil layers reach higher temperatures than the top layer does, as can occur between late fall and early spring in other latitudes.…”

For several years, the Colombian sugarcane industry had sugar and ethanol as its primary products. However, during the last years, sugar mills opened a new market based on products before considered waste. This new market offers a new possibility for harvest-waste utilization. However, if the waste becomes an income source, crop management will change. Collecting sugarcane waste for its utilization in making some other products, would mean a new crop management scenario left the soil bare soil during the first stages of planting and ratoon canes. We simulated a bare soil condition using mesocosms, for the three most representative soil textures of the Cauca river valley, and we measured soil temperature at different depths during the most convenient planting season (March-April). Results demonstrated differences in soil temperature patterns, especially in sandy soils, which tend to have higher thermal amplitudes in all layers. The parameters of linear regressions that relate temperature of layers, including air temperature, give information related to the thermal properties of soils, and therefore, it is possible, under Cauca Valley conditions, in the future to infer soil temperature from air temperature.

“…This model is general enough to include major energy sources and sinks, and also simple enough to be understood analytically. Such type of model was previously used in many studies of the temperature variability of oceanic mixed layer, soil, and firn (Stevenson and Niiler, 1983;Jun et al, 2002;Cronin et al, 2015;Staniec and Nowak, 2016).…”

On the Physical Origin of the Semiannual 1 Component of Surface Air Temperature over 2 Mid-latitude and Subpolar Oceans

With the understanding that seasonal cycle of the temperature are forced principally by the annually evolving solar irradiance, many previous studies have defined seasonal cycle of surface air temperature (SAT) as the sum of yearly-period sinusoidal component and its harmonics, especially semiannual component. In mid-latitude and subpolar regions, the ratio between the semiannual and annual components of solar irradiance is negligibly small but that of the SAT over oceans is not, which remains to be understood. In this study, a simple energy budget model including main energy sources and sinks of oceanic mixed layer is designed to understand this puzzle. It is revealed that, when the oceanic mixed layer is prescribed as a layer of constant depth, the phase and amplitude of the modeled SAT is not consistent with that of the observation. However, when the annually changing heat capacity of the oceanic mixed layer is included, both the amplitude and phase of the modeled SAT share these of the observed SAT, proving that the semiannual component of SAT over mid-latitude and subpolar oceans is a result of the heat capacity-varying oceanic mixed layer in response to annually evolving solar irradiance.
