NEVES, Gustavo et al. Variation of surface temperature in different land uses in the city of São Carlos-SP. []. , 13, pp.315-336. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2018.13.014.

The energy balance and the radioactive flux produced in urban areas are not well-studied subjects in Brazil. The objective of the present study was to verify the apparent surface temperature variation in different neighborhoods in the city of São Carlos-SP. The methodology was based on the use of an infrared digital thermometer fixed on a tripod, with manual measurement of cardinal and collateral points at angles of  10º and 0°, using various classifications of urban land use as defined by the Quadro do Paisagismo do Brasil (Brazilian Landscaping Framework) laboratory - QUAPÁ. The results show that the highest temperatures were recorded at the -10° angle, the relative height level of pedestrians.
