THIS – Tool for Heat Island Simulation: a GIS extension model to calculate urban heat island intensity based on urban geometry

This paper presents the development of a simulation model, which was incorporated into a Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to calculate the maximum intensity of urban heat islands (UHImax) based on urban geometry data (using a H/W parameter). This tool is called THIS ? Tool for Heat Islan...
