Recent challenges in modeling of urban heat island
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of strategies and policies have been proposed and adapted to the cities to countermeasure this unwanted phenomenon, and various types of models are developed to evaluate the effectiveness of such strategies in addition to predict the urban heat island.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting responses of urban and rural surface energy budgets to heat waves explain synergies between urban heat islands and heat waves
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed observations from two flux towers in Beijing, China and revealed significant differences between the responses of urban and rural (cropland) ecosystems to heat waves, implying synergies between HWs and UHIs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a national anthropogenic heating database with an extrapolation for international cities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a national database of seasonally and diurnally varying anthropogenic heating profiles for 61 of the largest cities in the United States, including the city scale and the accompanying greater metropolitan area.

Urban heat island (UHI) intensity and magnitude estimations: A systematic literature review
Se Woong Kim,Robert D. Brown +1 more
TL;DR: This systematic literature review confirmed the need for accurate UHI intensity and magnitude estimation and analysis and indicated that the existing UHI energy concepts for estimating UHIs need to be modified and developed to reflect the three-dimensional physical form of the city.

Thermal comfort: analysis and applications in environmental engineering,
TL;DR: In this paper, an account of research undertaken by the author and his colleagues at the Technical University of Denmark and at the Institute for Environmental Research, Kansas State University is described. But the data in the literature on thermal comfort are extensive, they are disjointed Other CABI sites

Some Comments on the Evaluation of Model Performance
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that the correlation between model-predicted and observed data, commonly described by Pearson's productmoment correlation coefficient, is an insufficient and often misleading measure of accuracy, and a complement of difference and summary univariate indices is presented as the nucleus of a more informative, albeit fundamentally descriptive, approach to model evaluation.
