This paper summarizes recent research on urban heat islands carried out in Europe. Recent
studies to identify the amplitude of urban heat islands as well as the main reasons that …

Motivated by the international tendency to improve the urban microclimate, minimize
building energy consumption and improve air quality, this paper carries out a literature …

Urban heat island is the more documented phenomenon of climate change. Information on
the magnitude and the characteristics of the canopy layer urban heat island measured in …

Unplanned urban growth and changes of Land-use land cover (LULC) is the warning
scenario for towns and cities in world wide. The transformation of natural land to impervious …

The present study explores the spatial variability of the continentality, oceanity and aridity
indices in Turkey. Climatic indices are diagnostic tools used to describe climatic conditions …

Abstract Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon concerns the development of higher ambient
temperatures in urban districts compared to the surrounding rural areas. Several studies …

Climate change and its urban-induced bias in selected Turkish cities is studied with a quality
controlled temperature and precipitation data of Turkish stations in the period of 1950–2004 …

In this study, the hierarchical clustering technique, called Ward method, was applied for
grouping common features of air temperature series, precipitation total and relative humidity …

As the majority of the world's population is living in urban environments, there is growing
interest in studying local urban climates. In this paper, for the first time, the long-term trends …

Regional climate change was demonstrated to be likely influenced by anthropogenic
dominated land surface processes. Urban heat island (UHI) is one of the important …
