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

“…For 22% of the cities during the day and 26% at night, the choice of different SUHII estimation methods resulted in the transformation between a surface urban heat island (SUHI) and a surface urban cold island (SUCI) due to the exclusion of rural pixels more than ±50 m from the median urban elevation. Compared with other regions, high-altitude plateau cities exhibited a slightly lower daytime SUHII but a significantly higher nighttime SUHII because of the lower atmospheric pressure in plateau areas, which limits the conduction and retention of heat. …”
