RISDevelopment of a Zero-Dimensional Mesoscale Thermal Model for Urban Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple energy balance model is created for use in developing mitigation strategies for the urban heat island effect. The model is initially applied to the city of Phoenix, Arizona. There are six primary contributions to ...
Contribution of Land Use Changes to Near-Surface Air Temperatures during Recent Summer Extreme Heat Events in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of 1973?2005 land use?land cover (LULC) changes on near-surface air temperatures during four recent summer extreme heat events (EHEs) are investigated for the arid Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan area using the ...
Simulations of the Urban Planetary Boundary Layer in an Arid Metropolitan Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A modified version of the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) was applied to the arid Phoenix, Arizona, metropolitan region. The ability of the model ...
Urban Modifications in a Mesoscale Meteorological Model and the Effects on Near-Surface Variables in an Arid Metropolitan Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A refined land cover classification for the arid Phoenix (Arizona) metropolitan area and some simple modifications to the surface energetics were introduced in the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National ...
