Scaling the Daytime Urban Heat Island and Urban-Breeze Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The urban-breeze circulation is a mesoscale response of the atmospheric flow that is related to horizontal variations in temperature associated, for dry conditions, with gradients in sensible heat flux densities. This local ...
Calculation of Air Temperatures above the Urban Canopy Layer from Measurements at a Rural Operational Weather Station
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rban canopy models (UCMs) are being used as urban-climate prediction tools for different applications including outdoor thermal comfort and building energy consumption. To take advantage of their low computational cost, ...
