In the published article, there was an error. The percentage of the forcing (used in Table 2) was unclear and should be removed from the Abstract.
A correction has been made to Abstract. This sentence previously stated:
“The UHI reverse forcing requirements are assessed with amplification estimates of 3.1 and 5.2, yielding 7.6% to 12.7% of gross global warming (corresponding to forcing percentages of 16% to 27%) could be due to the urbanization effect, respectively.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The UHI reverse forcing requirements are assessed with amplification estimates of 3.1 and 5.2, yielding 7.6% to 12.7% of gross global warming could be due to the urbanization effect, respectively.”
A correction has been made to the Introduction, paragraph 4. This sentence previously stated:
“This 12.7% gross warming equates to a forcing of 27.3% (see Table 2 in Section Assessing the Influence of Urbanization on Global Warming).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“This 12.7% gross warming equates to a percentage of the forcing (see Table 2 details in Section Assessing the Influence of Urbanization on Global Warming).”
There was an error. Percentage of the forcing (used in Table 2) is unclear to the reader and should be further clarified in the Introduction.
A correction has been made to Introduction, paragraph 5. This sentence previously stated:
“The author's prior geoengineering modeling results (Feinberg, 2020) agree with the current findings in this paper which is 7.6% gross warming and forcing of 16.2% (section Assessing the Influence of Urbanization on Global Warming) for the urbanization global warming influence.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The author's prior geoengineering modeling results (Feinberg, 2020) agree with the current findings in this paper which is 7.6% gross warming and a percentage of the forcing (see Table 2 details in section Assessing the Influence of Urbanization on Global Warming), for the urbanization global warming influence.”
In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. Forcing percentage in Table 2, Col 4, the column should have a clearer label as the denominator of 2.38 Wm−2 comes from a GHG forcing reference in Table 1. The corrected Table 1 appears below.
Table 1
| Parameter | Period | Model Value | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| ΔPRev, required reversal | 1950–2019 | *5.11 Wm−2 | (Feinberg, 2021b) |
| ΔPT reverse forcing target T goal | 1950–2019 | *1.47 Wm−2 | (Feinberg, 2021b and Section 2.3) |
| AF feedback value | 1950–2019 | *2.15 | (Feinberg, 2021b) |
| ΔPRev/AF GHG forcing | 1950–2019 | *2.38 Wm−2 | (Butler et al., 2020) |
| f re-radiation parameter | 2019 | *0.62 | (Feinberg, 2021b) |

| UHI heat amplification HT | 1950–2019 | 3.1, 5.2 | (Feinberg, 2020, and Section 3.4) |
| albedo of the Earth | 2019 | *0.30 | (Feinberg, 2021b) |
| average albedo of land | 2014 | 0.25 | (He, 2014, see Section 3.4) |
| mitigating UHI albedo | 1950–2019 | 0.2 | (Feinberg, 2020, see Section 3.4) |
| UHI average albedo | 2014 | 0.12 | (Sugawara and Takamura, 2014, see Section 3.4) |
Suggested model GMEEB* estimates and other values.
In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. Forcing in Table 2 includes feedback per Equation 23 and this was missed. The corrected Table 2 appears below.
Table 2
| HT | Forcing & Feedback ΔPRevU (WM−2) | Global Warming Percent ΔpRevu/ΔPRev | Percentage of GHGΔpRevu 2.38Wm−2**Forcing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.125 | 2.4% | 5.3% |
| 3.1 | 0.387 | 7.6% | 16.2% |
| 5.22* | 0.65 | 12.7%* | 27.3%* |
UHI Global warming estimates (1950–2019).
In the published article, there was an error. In Equation 26 an extra term AE was added after the second equal sign.
A correction has been made to Results, “Heat Pollution From Dark Surface”
This equation previously stated:
The corrected equation appears below:
