- Computational Fluid Dynamics for urban physics: Importance, scales, possibilities, limitations and ten tips and tricks towards accurate and reliable simulations (2015, background): “In urban areas, the impacts of heat waves are aggravated by the urban heat island effect (UHI), which refers to urban areas being significantly warmer than their rural surroundings, mainly because urban areas retain more heat [14-19].”
- A Review on Remote Sensing of Urban Heat and Cool Islands (2017, background): “In addition, it exacerbates heat waves and creates a negative effect on life expectancy on urban inhabitants [14].”
- The impact of heat waves on surface urban heat island and local economy in Cluj-Napoca city, Romania (2018, background): “Since UHIs are characterized by higher temperature values, they can potentially increase the magnitude and duration of heat events in the urban environment (Tan et al. 2010; Dousset et al. 2011).”
- Interactions between urban heat islands and heat waves (2018, neutral): “The risks of heatwaves are amplified by urban heat islands (UHI) (Patz et al 2005, Tan et al 2010)—a phenomenon of highertemperaturesinurbanareasthaninsurrounding ruralareas.”
- Scale-dependent interactions between tree canopy cover and impervious surfaces reduce daytime urban heat during summer (2019, background): “The increased cooling effect of tree canopy cover on the hottest days, when human health (e.g., asthma sufferers) and energy impacts (e.g., air conditioning) are most consequential (5, 34 – 37), further underscores the importance of adaptation efforts.”
