UHI-Bench: Benchmarking Dual-Source Urban Heat Island Modeling Across Cities in Diverse Climate Regimes
Urban heat islands (UHIs) are intensifying under climate change, exacerbating thermal exposure risks. Their two primary observations, land surface temperature UHI (LST-UHI) and near-surface air temperature UHI (AirT-UHI), capture physically distinct aspects of urban heat. However, most studies rely on a single source, and substituting one for the other can substantially bias the magnitude and spatial variability of human heat exposure. Accurate UHI modeling also requires dynamic meteorological drivers and static urban morphology features, but spatiotemporal incompatibilities hinder their align
