Figure 4: Association of SUHII in India with evapotranspiration (ET).

From: Flip flop of Day-night and Summer-Winter Surface Urban Heat Island Intensity in India

Figure 4

The SUHII for summer days (a) and winter days (b) are overlaid on the seasonal ET. The differences in the ET between urban and nearby non-urban regions are estimated for the summer (c) and winter (d) season. The summer and winter daytime SUHII are negatively associated with differences in ET between urban and nearby non-urban region ((a) and (b) respectively). The overall variability of differences in ET between urban and nearby non-urban regions for summer and winter season are presented in (c) and (d) respectively. The temperature is presented in °C. The figures are generated with Arc Map Ver 10.2 (http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis-for-desktop) and, MATLAB R2012b (http://in.mathworks.com/products/new_products/release2012b.html).
