1·The precise configuration of a heat island depends on several factors.
热岛的精确结构取决于几个因素。
2·Cities, then, are warmer than the surrounding rural areas, and together they produce a phenomenon known as the urban heat island.
因此，城市比周围的农村地区更暖和，它们共同产生了一种被称为城市热岛的现象。
3·Scientists have carefully checked these observations to exclude observational errors and other influences - such as the urban heat island effect and localised warming due to land surface changes.
科学家们谨慎地监测那些观测，以排除观测误差和其它影响，诸如城市的热岛效应和由于地表变化导致的局部升温。
4·Cities are particularly vulnerable to climate change because of a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect.
城市特别容易受到气候变化的侵害，因为有一种被称为城市热岛效应的现象。
5·The urban heat island effect is more pronounced when forest rings a city.
因此当一所城市被森林环绕，其城市热岛效应会更明显。
