urban temperature focusing on heat island

[sd16121]

Dear Office,

If I would like to focus on heat island, which temperature parameter should be chosen? T2 or TSK?

Best wishes,
Stella

Both can well represent the heat island effects.

Thank you, Ming. What else temperature or atmospheric items should be considered?

If someone could help with my issue? Many thanks.

Urban heat island effect can be directly demonstrated by surface air temperature (T2) and skin temmpeertaure (TSK). Changes in temperature may induce local circulation, for example larger than normal ascending motions above urban area and low-level convergence, etc. Please refer to the literature for more information.
