The impact of pavement materials on surface temperature

Urban heat island refers to the higher of urban area compared to the surrounding rural areas. Previous studies on urban heat island (UHI) often prove the existence of significant effect of land cover on urban surface temperature.

description Urban heat island refers to the higher of urban area compared to the surrounding rural areas.
