Global long-term mapping of surface temperature shows intensified intra-city urban heat island extremes

2021-03-10

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Surface temperatures are generally higher in cities than in rural surroundings. This phenomenon, known as surface urban heat island (SUHI), increases the risk of heat-related human illnesses and mortality. Past global studies analysed this phenomenon aggregated at city scale or over seasonal and annual time periods, while human impacts strongly depend on shorter term heat stress experie...
