Within-city spatial and temporal heterogeneity of air temperature and its relationship with land surface temperature

Jie Cao et al.

Summary: The study revealed significant spatial variations of air temperature within cities, with more prominent differences during extreme heat days. The research also found large nocturnal and seasonal variability in air temperature, which can have practical implications for mitigating excessive urban heat and adapting to a warming global climate.

Assessment of urban cooling effect based on downscaled land surface temperature: A case study for Fukuoka, Japan

Wangchongyu Peng et al.

Summary: Urban heat island, a significant urban issue caused by human activities, was assessed in Fukuoka, Japan using random forests based downscaling technique. The study found that the most significant heat island effect occurs in summer daytime, while the least is in winter nighttime. The cooling effect of forests was identified as the most substantial among green-blue spaces, with an average temperature change occurring at a distance of about 1 km.

Small vegetated patches greatly reduce urban surface temperature during a summer heatwave in Adelaide, Australia

Alessandro Ossola et al.

Summary: The study found that vegetation in cities can significantly reduce local land surface temperatures during summer heatwaves, especially tree canopy cover. Additionally, even small vegetation patches in urban landscapes can have a moderate cooling effect on temperatures.
