Amongst various form of urbanization induced climate change, changing thermal
environment is the most widely studied and understood phenomenon. The impervious …

Accurate representation of the land use/land cover (LULC) in the Weather Research and
Forecasting (WRF) model has been shown to be crucial for improved simulation of surface …

Applying the homogenized daily data during 1970–2019, this study examined the
urbanization effects on changes in a set of extreme climate indices for large cities across …

This research proposes a collection of urban heat island (UHI) risk indicators under four UHI
risk components: hazard, exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. There are 46 UHI risk …

This study quantifies the impact of using an updated Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) dataset
