Where :math:`T_{air,ref}` is the rural reference temperature and :math:`UHI_{max}` is the maximum magnitude of the UHI effect for the city (or more precisely, the difference between :math:`T_{air,ref}` and the maximum temperature observed in the city).
Where :math:`T_{air,ref}` is the rural reference air temperature and :math:`UHI_{max}` is the maximum magnitude of the UHI effect for the city (or more precisely, the difference between :math:`T_{air,ref}` and the maximum temperature observed in the city).

Due to air mixing, these temperatures average spatially. Actual air temperature (with mixing), :math:`T_{air}`, is derived from :math:`T_{air_{nomix}}` using a Gaussian function with kernel radius :math:`r`, defined by the user.

-----------------------------------
Distance (meters) over which large urban parks (>2 ha) have a cooling effect. See a short review in Zardo et al. 2017, including a study that reports a cooling effect at a distance five times tree height. In the absence of local studies, an estimate of 450m can be used.

Baseline Air Temperature
------------------------
Rural reference temperature (°C) can be obtained from local temperature stations or global climate data.
Reference Air Temperature
