Attribution and mitigation of heat wave-induced urban heat storage change

Attribution and mitigation of heat wave-induced urban heat storage change

When the urban heat island (UHI) effect coincides with a heat wave (HW), thermal stress in cities is exacerbated. Understanding the surface energy balance (SEB) responses to HWs is critical for improving predictions of the synergies between UHIs and HWs. This study evaluates observed SEB characteris...
