  - The urban heat island effect (UHI) has been widely observed globally, causing
    climate, health, and energy impacts in cities. The UHI intensities have been found
    to largely depend on background climate and the properties of the urban fabric.
    Yet, a complete mechanistic understanding of how UHIs develop at a global scale
    is still missing. Using an urban ecohydrological and land-surface model (urban
    Tethys-Chloris) in combination with multi-source remote sensing data, we performed
    simulations for 49 large urban clusters across the Northern Hemisphere in 2009–2019
    and analysed how surface and canopy air UHIs (SUHI and CUHI, respectively) develop
    during day and night. Biophysical drivers triggering the development of SUHIs
    and CUHIs have similar dependencies on background climate, but with different
    magnitudes. In humid regions daytime UHIs can be largely explained by the urban-rural
    difference in evapotranspiration, whereas heat convection and conduction are important
    in arid areas. Plant irrigation can largely promote daytime urban evapotranspiration
    only in arid and semi-arid climates. During night, heat conduction from the urban
    fabric to the environment creates large UHIs mostly in warm arid regions. Overall,
    this study presents a mechanistic quantification of how UHIs develop worldwide
    and proposes viable solutions for sustainable climate-sensitive mitigation strategies.@eng
