Abstract:Spatial change in the urban landscape related to land cover conversion due to urbanization is recognized as the critical factor affecting the formation and intensity of Urban Heat Island (UHI), which under summer Heat Waves (HWs) substantially modifies the land surface-aerodynamic properties, the energy and water balances and urban thermal environment. One of the most important goals of satellite-based urban thermal environment investigations is the better understanding of the physical content of different sat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
