This paper analyzes the processes and characteristics of urbanization in Shanghai, focusing
on the population and land use and land cover (LULC) change, and its correlation with the …

A numerical study with a weather research and forecasting (WRF) model at 300-m resolution
shows that Singapore's canopy-layer UHI intensity has a strong diurnal cycle, peaking in …

Over the last 50 years the developing world, much of which is located in (sub) tropical
regions, has seen a dramatic growth of its urban population associated with serious …

Urbanisation leads to rapid constructions, which use low albedo materials leading to high
heat absorption in urban centres. In addition, removal of vegetation cover and emissions of …

Introduction This paper focused on the process of urbanization in Lahore and its correlation
with the loss of urban vegetation and perceived environmental impacts based on local …

A high resolution urban thermal sharpener (HUTS) was developed that increases the
resolution of thermal infrared (TIR) data to that of visible and near infrared (VNIR) data by …

This study employed the Weather Research and Forecasting model with a single‐layer
urban canopy model to investigate the urban environment of a tropical city, Singapore. The …

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of urban land on the climate in Europe
on local and regional scales. Effects of urban land cover on the climate are isolated using …

The increase in urbanization leads to an intensification of the heat island effect, due to
several factors: reduction in green areas; high solar absorptance of construction materials; …
