@article{Lee2010StatisticalAD, title={Statistical and dynamical characteristics of the urban heat island intensity in Seoul}, author={Sang-Hyun Lee and Jong‐Jin Baik}, journal={Theoretical and Applied Climatology}, year={2010}, volume={100}, pages={227-237} }
The statistical and dynamical characteristics of the urban heat island (UHI) intensity in Seoul are investigated for non-precipitation days and precipitation days using 4-year surface meteorological data with 1-h time intervals. Furthermore, the quantitative influence of synoptic pressure pattern on the UHI intensity is examined using a synoptic condition clustering method. The statistical analysis shows that the daily maximum UHI intensity in Seoul for non-precipitation days is strongest in…
