Abstract
A dimensional analysis is made to relate the magnitude of urban heat island to synoptic conditions andphysical parameters of a city. The proposed relationship is justifiable in view of numerical results and observational data. It shows that the daytime heat island problem could be alleviated by planting more treesand water-fronts, while the nocturnal heat island could be lessened by choosing proper materials for roadsand buildings. Although the validity of this proposed relation should be further examined, it is hoped that therefinement of such a “universal” relation can provide a general guideline to urban designers.
