RISA New Methodology to Assess Building Integrated Roof Top Photovoltaic Installations at City Scales: The Tropical Coastal City Case
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As a consequence of the warm and humid climate of tropical coastal regions, there is high energy demand year-round due to air conditioning to maintain indoor comfort levels. Past and current practices are focused on ...
On the Validation of the Simulation of Early Season Precipitation on the Island of Puerto Rico Using a Mesoscale Atmospheric Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ability of a mesoscale atmospheric model to reproduce the spatial distribution of the precipitation of the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico during an early rainfall season month (April) is evaluated in this paper, taking ...
Adapting to Extreme Heat: Social, Atmospheric, and Infrastructure Impacts of Air-Conditioning in Megacities—The Case of New York City
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Extreme heat events are becoming more frequent and intense. In cities, the urban heat island (UHI) can often intensify extreme heat exposure, presenting a public health challenge across vulnerable populations without access ...
Forecasting Building Energy Demands With a Coupled Weather-Building Energy Model in a Dense Urban Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Major new metropolitan centers experience challenges during management of peak electrical loads, typically occurring during extreme summer events. These peak loads expose the reliability of the electrical grid on the ...
On the Hydrometeorological Changes of a Tropical Water Basin in the Caribbean and Its Sensitivity to Midterm Changes in Regional Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lobal climate change manifests in the Caribbean basin as increased SSTs, precipitation anomalies, and changes in atmospheric moisture content, among other effects. These regional climate changes have a profound impact on ...
On the Assessment of a Numerical Weather Prediction Model for Solar Photovoltaic Power Forecasts in Cities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent developments in the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model have made it possible to accurately estimate incident solar radiation. This study couples the WRF-solar modifications with a multilayer urban canopy ...

Simulations of a Heat-Wave Event in New York City Using a Multilayer Urban Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Weather Research and Forecasting mesoscale model coupled to a multilayer urban canopy parameterization was used to evaluate the evolution of a 3-day heat wave in New York City, New York, during the summer of 2010. Results ...
Climate Impacts of Land-Cover and Land-Use Changes in Tropical Islands under Conditions of Global Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: and-cover and land-use (LCLU) changes have significant climate impacts in tropical coastal regions with the added complexity of occurring within the context of a warming climate. The individual and combined effects of these ...
Improvements in Land-Use Classification for Estimating Daytime Surface Temperatures and Sea-Breeze Flows in Southern California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nderstanding the interactions between large-scale atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns and changes in land cover and land use (LCLU) due to urbanization is a relevant subject in many coastal climates. Recent studies ...
