中文摘要：

介绍了从气象观测记录中分辨城市化气候效应的基本思路，通过近年一些范例性的研究成果，展示均一化气候序列对于评估城市化气候效应的重要性，讨论均一化资料所反映的“城市化效应”的内涵，总结现有有限的基于均一化气候序列的城市化效应评估结果，并指出存在的问题，展望进一步的研究。

英文摘要：

This paper brielfy presents ways of detecting the climatic effects of urbanization based on meteorological observations. Having reviewed various recent studies, we point out the very importance of homogenized climate series for estmating the impact of urbanization. The results of a few recent studies based on homogenized observations are discussed. Suggestions for further studies are proposed.
