Estimation of anthropogenic heat flux and its coupling analysis with urban building characteristics - A case study of typical cities in the Yangtze River Delta, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper carried out anthropogenic heat flux (AHF) estimation and explored the correlation between the AHF and building characteristics (density and height) helps reveal the urban climate's genetic mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the spatiotemporal variation in anthropogenic heat and its impact on the surface thermal environment over global land areas
TL;DR: In this paper, the anthropogenic heat flux (AHF) with the surface net solar radiation (SNSR) was analyzed and the relationship between AHF and the surface urban heat island effect (ESUHI) on the basis of the estimation and analysis of global terrestrial AHF.

Two decades of urban climate research: a review of turbulence, exchanges of energy and water, and the urban heat island
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed progress in urban climatology over the two decades since the first publication of the International Journal of Climatology (IJC) and highlighted the role of scale, heterogeneity, dynamic source areas for turbulent fluxes and the complexity introduced by the roughness sublayer over the tall, rigid roughness elements of cities.

A generalized split-window algorithm for retrieving land-surface temperature from space
Zhengming Wan,Jeff Dozier +1 more
TL;DR: A generalized split-window method for retrieving land-surface temperature (LST) from AVHRR and MODIS data is proposed, which is less sensitive to uncertainty in emissivity and to instrument quantization error, and retrieves land- surface temperature more accurately.

Heat-Related Deaths during the July 1995 Heat Wave in Chicago
TL;DR: In this study of the 1995 Chicago heat wave, those at greatest risk of dying from the heat were people with medical illnesses who were socially isolated and did not have access to air conditioning.
