• Scale-dependent interactions between tree canopy cover and impervious surfaces reduce daytime urban heat during summer (2019, background): “However, in contrast to the strong nighttime urban–rural differences in Madison (22) and elsewhere (4), nighttime temperature differences within the city were diminished (6).”
• Disproportionately higher exposure to urban heat in lower-income neighborhoods: a multi-city perspective (2019, background): “…can modulate the UHI (Taha 1997, Zhao et al 2014, Li et al 2018), two of the factors considered in this study account for the vast majority of UHImitigation measures; green roofs and green spaces modulate NDVI, while white roofs and reflective pavements alter α (Rizwan et al 2008, Zhao et al 2017).”
• Urban heat island effect: A systematic review of spatio-temporal factors, data, methods, and mitigation measures (2018, background): “UHI is a phenomenon when urban areas experience higher temperature compared to their surrounding non-urban areas (Rizwan et al., 2008).”
• A review on the CFD analysis of urban microclimate (2017, background): “In addition, while measurements are generally only performed at a limited number of points in space, numerical simulations can provide information on any investigated variable in the entire computational domain [16,24,29].”
• The summer surface urban heat island of Bucharest (Romania) retrieved from MODIS images (2015, background): “Arnfield (2003), Rizwan et al. (2008) and Stewart (2011) provided recent overviews, tackling UHI development, features, concepts and recent advancements.”
