Urban heat islands (UHIs) constitute one of the most conspicuous anthropogenic impacts on local climates, characterized by elevated land surface temperatures in urban areas compared to surrounding rural regions. This study represents a novel and comprehensive effort characterize spectral signature SUHI through lens two-dimensional (2D) turbulence theory, with particular focus identifying energy cascade regimes their climatic modulation. The theory turbulence, first described Kraichnan Batchelor, predicts two distinct regimes: an inverse at larger scales (low wavenumbers) direct enstrophy smaller (high wavenumbers). These cascades can be detected spatial power spectra analysis, offering scale-dependent understanding phenomenon. Despite theoretical appeal, empirical validation 2D hypothesis thermal landscapes remains scarce. aims fill this gap analyzing across 14 cities representing diverse zones, capturing varied morphologies, structures, materials. We analyzed multi-decadal LST datasets compute summer winter seasons, breakpoints that separate large-scale retention from small-scale dissipative processes. findings reveal systematic deviations classical scaling laws, slopes before breakpoint ranging ~K−1.6 ~K−2.7 ~K−1.5 ~K−2.4 summer, while post-breakpoint steepened significantly ~K−3.5 ~K−4.6 ~K−3.3 ~K−4.3 summer. suggest is modulated anisotropic heterogeneities, mesoscale instabilities, seasonally dependent dissipation mechanisms. Notably, desert Mediterranean climates exhibited pronounced dissipation, whereas oceanic humid subtropical showed more gradual transitions, likely due differences moisture availability convective mixing. results underscore necessity incorporating into climate models better capture nature exchange. observed offer diagnostic tool for critical which mitigation strategies—such as green infrastructure, optimized ventilation, reflective materials—can effective. Furthermore, our highlight importance regional context shaping distributions, necessitating climate-specific design interventions. By advancing research contributes broader discourse sustainable development resilience warming world.

Most of the global population lives in urban areas, which also serve as hubs economy, industry, and government activities. Various factors that affect quality cities have been studied different locations. This article reviews various papers examine environmental indicators areas can be extracted from remote sensing data. The first aspect is vegetation cover, known index normalized difference (NVDI), second surface temperature, land temperature (LST). In this work, conditions countries are compared with Indonesia based on these indicators. It found NDVI LST widely used to analyze conditions. has a negative correlation temperature.
