Evaluating Urban Heat Island Effects in the Southwestern Plateau of China: A Comparative Analysis of Nine Estimation Methods by Ziyang Ma, Huyan Fu, Jianghai Wen, Zhiru Chen

“…Consequently, heat dissipates more quickly at night, increasing SUHII values. (2) The mean ΔSUHII_AD (absolute difference in SUHII values across methods) was 0.51 ± 0.01 °C during the day and 0.44 ± 0.02 °C at night. (3) In high-altitude plateau cities, for all methods, the correlation of the SUHII with influencing factors was stronger, highlighting their sensitivity to both environmental and anthropogenic influences. These results enhance our understanding of plateau UHI dynamics and highlight the importance of considering appropriate rural definitions for cities with varying geographical characteristics.…”
