Abstract

Human settlements (especially large urban areas) significantly modify the environment. One of the most often analyzed phenomena related to cities is the urban heat island (UHI) effect. In this paper, UHI intensity is compared using two different approach, namely, (i) satellite-based and remotely sensed surface temperature, and (ii) ground-based air temperature measurements using a moving vehicle. The analysis includes a comparison of annual and seasonal spatial structures, cross sections, as well as mean intensity values. Results suggest that the structures of UHI are similar using different techniques for both Debrecen and Szeged. However, the annual mean satellite-based UHI is more intense than the one calculated using mobile measurements.
