Abstract

Climate change, urban heat island in Niger from 2012 to 2035: The case of the city of Tahoua

This study of urban heat island in Tahoua city from 2012 to 2035 is based on the use of data relating to the population and the reference wind speed. The objective of this work is to use these data to determine the intensity of the urban heat island as a function of the increase in population density. Thus, it has been shown that the intensity of the urban heat island increases with population density and decreases for a greater value of wind speed.
