Urban heat islands in China enhanced by haze pollution
The impact of locally-sourced aerosols on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect has been difficult to quantify due to opposing long and shortwave radiation effects. Here, using satellite observations and climate model simulations, the authors reveal that urban haze pollution intensifies the nighttime U...
