Analyses of nocturnal temperature cooling-rate response to historical local-scale urban land-use/land cover change

Urbanization affects near-surface climates by increasing city temperatures relative to rural temperatures [i.e., the urban heat island (UHI) effect]. This effect is usually measured as the relative temperature difference between urban areas and a rural location. Use of this measure is potentially pr...
