Domain-specific¶
- Urban Heat Island
- The same materials carry high thermal mass: concrete, stone, and pavement store that absorbed heat through the daylight hours and re-radiate it slowly after dark, which is why the offset is largest at night, when rural surfaces have already shed their heat to a clear sky
This sourceEstablishes the storage-and-release account: the high thermal admittance of urban construction materials slows nocturnal cooling while rural surfaces lose 2-3 °C per hour to a clear sky, putting maximum heat-island intensity three to five hours after sunset.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
