Enhanced sensitivity of the urban heat island effect to summer temperatures induced by urban expansion
A suitable thermal environment is important for the economy, society and public health in urban areas. However, the understanding of the relationship between the urban heat island (UHI) effect and background temperature (T-UHI) is very limited. In this study, the UHI effect induced by the urbanizati...
