For example, there are conflicting reports regarding the impact of reduced aerosol pollution on heat island intensity. (sciencedaily.com)
A University of Georgia study using a new method for calculating urban heat island intensities clarifies the conflict on whether urban density or sprawl amplify these effects more. (sciencedaily.com)
The use of spatially gridded temperature data, rather than urban versus rural point comparisons, represents a new method for calculating a city's canopy heat island intensity. (sciencedaily.com)
