 This research paper examines the urban heat island effect in the city of Birmingham, UK. It compares surface and canopy UHI, and finds that the former is more closely related to land use while the latter is influenced by advection. Higher resolution urban meteorological data was used to investigate the relationship between air temperatures and land surface temperature, LST, and the results showed strong correlations at the neighborhood level, but less so at the city level.
