Abstract

Effects of two important surface parameters (distance from the center of the settlement and extent of evaporating surfaces) on development of urban heat island (UHI) are examined in the present paper. The study area is the town of Beregszász (Transcarpathia, Ukraine) with a population of 26 000. Mobile temperature measurements were carried to out in order to gain information on the characteristics of the UHI in ten day intervals in two one year long campaigns in 2005 and 2008. The main purpose was to determine the urban thermal excess in the different parts of a relatively small town, and to elaborate an empirical model equation of the development of UHI in the different parts of the town affected by horizontal surface conditions.
