Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUrbanization Effect on Air Temperature in Iran's Zayanderud River BasinAli Zahraei, Sara Saadati, Saeid Eslamian et al.: Detection of urbanization effect to understand climate change is important. Urbanization effect on air temperature in Zayanderud river basin was evaluated using weather stations network. Map of the temperature trend was generated using full dataset and rural stations to visualize warming trends. A comparative analysis was carried out to estimate urban heat island effect. The result indicated that overall … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 11 May 2018 · 8,480 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalysis of The Heat Island Phenomenon in Makassar, South Sulawesi, IndonesiaRosmini Maru, Ichsan Invanni Baharuddin, Ramli Umar et al.Urban Heat Island phenomenon (UHI) is one of the city micro-climate phenomenon that mostly hit many big cities in the World, including Makassar, Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the phenomenon of UHI and UHII in Makassar and the surrounding areas. The method used in this study is the analysis of primary data through measurements taken directly to the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 9 · 23 Sep 2015 · 8,055 accessesView PDF Cite

InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Green Roof Model Predictions with Experimental DataSergio Quezada-García, Manuela Azucena Escobedo-Izquierdo, Juan José Ambriz-García et al.In this study, the results of a green roof model are presented and compared with experimental data. Good agreement between simulation and experiment were found for different experimental conditions that were carried out in a controlled environment laboratory. The study of green roof heat transfer processes is important because it allows a better thermal design in buildings; the use of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Jul 2015 · 7,225 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntra Urban Air Temperature Distributions in Historic Urban CenterElmira Jamei, Dilshan Remaz OssenThe study investigates the urban heat island effect in Malaysian historic town Malacca through seven mobile traverses, as carried out on 10 December 2011. It aims to identify the intra-urban air temperature differences between heritage core zone, new development area and outskirts of the city. Air temperature variations were also analyzed across three different zones; namely the outskirts, the heritage … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,750 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLand Surface Temperature Retrieval by Using ATCOR3_T and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Methods in Penang IslandK. C. Tan, H. S. Lim, M. Z. MatJafri, K. AbdullahProblem statement: Many studies have been devoted to establish the methodology for retrieval of LST from single channel algorithm by utilizing Landsat satellite images. However, this method required many atmospheric parameters to retrieve LST. Thus, it is very difficult to acquire the complete information for atmospheric parameters. Approach: While for ATCOR3_T, this method can be used to retrieve LST without … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,497 accessesView PDF Cite
