Satellite Remote Sensing of Surface Urban Heat Islands: Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives
Decheng Zhou,Jingfeng Xiao,Stefania Bonafoni,Christian Berger,Kaveh Deilami,Yuyu Zhou,Steve Frolking,Rui Yao,Zhi Qiao,José A. Sobrino +9 more
TL;DR: An exponentially increasing trend of SUHI research since 2005, with clear preferences for geographic areas, time of day, seasons, research foci, and platforms/sensors is found, and key potential directions and opportunities for future efforts are proposed.

Investigating the effects of 3D urban morphology on the surface urban heat island effect in urban functional zones by using high-resolution remote sensing data: A case study of Wuhan, Central China
Xin Huang,Ying Wang +1 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the relationship between 2D/3D urban morphology and summer daytime LST in Wuhan, a representative megacity in Central China, which is known for its extremely hot weather in summer, by adopting high-resolution remote sensing data and geographical information data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical review on the cooling effect of urban blue-green space: A threshold-size perspective
TL;DR: The cooling effect of blue-green space has been recognized as a promising approach to mitigate the urban heat island (UHI), while the quantitative role (threshold-size for cooling) is still uncertain this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban form and composition of street canyons: A human-centric big data and deep learning approach
TL;DR: An innovative big data approach to derive street-level morphology and urban feature composition as experienced by a pedestrian from Google Street View (GSV) imagery is developed and constitutes an important step towards building a global morphological database to describe the form and composition of cities from a human-centric perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
How can urban blue-green space be planned for climate adaption in high-latitude cities? A seasonal perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used spatial/statistical methods to assess the cooling effect of blue-green spaces in different seasons and found that the area and cooling extent and intensity conform a logarithm function with significant correlations except for winter.

Derivation of Nighttime Urban Air Temperatures Using a Satellite Thermal Image
TL;DR: In this paper, the average UHI intensity of Hong Kong was about 2°-3.5°C, although a very high value of 12°C UHI was observed on a calm winter night by ASTER.

Risk and Exposure to Extreme Heat in Microclimates of Phoenix, AZ
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined extreme heat as an urban hazard throughout the Phoenix (Arizona, USA) metropolitan area during a four-day 2005 summer heat wave using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model.

Impact of Homeowner Association (HOA) landscaping guidelines on residential water use
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed quantitatively the role that Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs) applied to landscaping by HOAs play on water consumption and found that HOA yards have less vegetation cover and those households use less peak-season water (July) than those households in non-HOA neighborhoods.
