espanolAunque las islas de calor urbano (ICU) han sido ampliamente estudiadas, una reciente clasificacion climatica de los paisajes urbanos y rurales proporciona un nuevo marco para los investigadores de las ICU. Con base en el sistema de Zona Climatica Local (LCZ), hemos investigado las islas de calor en una ciudad tropical, analizando los efectos de la morfologia urbana y de los usos del suelo sobre la intensidad de la ICU. Las mediciones se han realizado en Presidente Prudente, Sao Paulo, Brasil, durante cinco noches de invierno (junio y julio de 2014). Las temperaturas observadas han mostrado zonas construidas compactas con temperaturas mas altas, seguidas de zonas abiertas de media elevacion, compacta poco consolidada de baja elevacion y zonas de matorral. Se ha detectado una diferencia de temperatura nocturna maxima de mas de 5°C entre las zonas con grandes contrastes en sus caracteristicas fisicas (∆TLCZ 24-D), mientras que las diferencias medias entre las zonas alcanzaron los 3,8oC (∆TLCZ 3-D) EnglishAlthough urban heat islands (UHIs) have been widely studied, a recent climate-based classification of urban and rural landscapes provides a new framework for UHI researchers. Based on the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) system, we studied heat islands in a tropical city, analysing the effects of urban morphology and surface cover on UHI intensity. Mobile measurements were taken in Presidente Prudente, Sao Paulo, Brazil, on five winter evenings (June and July 2014). Observed temperatures across the city show compact built zones with higher temperatures, followed by open midsize, lightweight low-rise, and low plants zones. A maximum nocturnal temperature difference of more than 5°C was detected between areas with significant differences in physical characteristics (∆TLCZ 24–D), whereas average inter-zone thermal differences reached 3.8oC (∆TLCZ 3–D).
