Abstract

Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Heat Waves (HWs) are very important research topics as they have a strong impact on society and their synergies are not enough understood. Urbanisation and global warming are dynamic processes that amplify the UHI intensity and the HWs, as well as their synergies. In this context, it is not a surprise to see that the number of publications tackling the linkages between UHI and HWs has constantly increased in the last decades. The development of new instruments and technologies allowed for consistent improvements in the temporal and spatial resolution of the data that boosted both the monitoring and analysis of the UHI-HW. The use of satellite remote sensing was very limited at the beginning of the analysed period and has become common practice in the last decade. Last, but not least, the interdisciplinary approaches, including physical, social, and economic aspects are more frequent and support the integrated development of the urban areas. Such changes are captured in this review including more than 400 titles, covering the period 1991–2022, aiming to foster further research on emergent climate change risks at urban scales and contextualise the future urban planning. This review provides a comprehensive, accessible and structured overview of the UHI-HW topic as a support for a better understanding of the gaps to be addressed by future research.

城市热岛和热浪研究系统回顾（1991-2022 年）

城市热岛（UHI）和热浪（HWs）是非常重要的研究课题，因为它们对社会有很大的影响，而人们对它们的协同作用却了解不够。城市化和全球变暖是一个动态过程，会加剧城市热岛和热浪的强度及其协同作用。在这种情况下，我们不难发现，在过去的几十年里，有关超高强度空气影响和高湿度空气影响之间联系的出版物数量不断增加。新仪器和新技术的发展使得数据的时间和空间分辨率不断提高，从而促进了对特高温冲击--高温天气的监测和分析。卫星遥感技术的使用在分析期开始时非常有限，在过去十年中已成为普遍做法。最后，但并非最不重要的一点是，跨学科方法，包括物理、社会和经济方面的跨学科方法越来越多，支持了城市地区的综合发展。本综述涵盖了 1991-2022 年间的 400 多篇论文，旨在促进对城市范围内新出现的气候变化风险的进一步研究，并为未来的城市规划提供背景资料。本综述全面、易懂、有条理地概述了 UHI-HW 主题，有助于更好地了解未来研究需要解决的差距。

期刊介绍： Climate Risk Management publishes original scientific contributions, state-of-the-art reviews and reports of practical experience on the use of knowledge and information regarding the consequences of climate variability and climate change in decision and policy making on climate change responses from the near- to long-term. The concept of climate risk management refers to activities and methods that are used by individuals, organizations, and institutions to facilitate climate-resilient decision-making. Its objective is to promote sustainable development by maximizing the beneficial impacts of climate change responses and minimizing negative impacts across the full spectrum of geographies and sectors that are potentially affected by the changing climate.
