Spatio-temporal modeling of the urban heat island in the Phoenix metropolitan area: land use change implications.
TL;DR: It is suggested that urban planners, decision-makers, and city managers formulate new policies and regulations that encourage residential, commercial, and industrial developers to include more vegetation when planning new construction.

Spatiotemporal Variation in Surface Urban Heat Island Intensity and Associated Determinants across Major Chinese Cities
TL;DR: This research provides a comprehensive and comparative characterization of the diurnal and seasonal variation in surface UHI intensities (SUHIIs) across 67 major Chinese cities and found that the SUHII varied significantly in character between northern and southern China.

An Introduction to Boundary Layer Meteorology
TL;DR: In this article, the boundary layer is defined as the boundary of a boundary layer, and the spectral gap is used to measure the spectral properties of the boundary layers of a turbulent flow.
