A comparison between London and Baghdad surface urban heat islands and possible engineering mitigation solutions

A comparison between London and Baghdad surface urban heat islands and possible engineering mitigation solutions

This study adopts remote sensing techniques to compare the Surface urban Heat Island (SUHI) in Bagh-dad and London as they represent different climatic conditions, natural environments and levels of urbandevelopment. It tests the reported correlation of land surface temperature (LST) with land cover...
