Variable Urbanization Warming Effects across Metropolitans of China and Relevant Driving Factors

Variable Urbanization Warming Effects across Metropolitans of China and Relevant Driving Factors

Urbanization is mainly characterized by the expansion of impervious surface (IS) and hence modifies hydrothermal properties of the urbanized areas. This process results in rising land surface temperature (LST) of the urbanized regions, i.e., urban heat island (UHI). Previous studies mainly focused o...
