Abstract: he interaction between urban heat islands (UHIs) and heat waves (HWs) is studied using measurements collected at two towers in the Beijing, China, metropolitan area and an analytical model. Measurements show that 1) the ...

Abstract: oil thermal conductivity ? is a vital parameter for soil temperature and soil heat flux forecasting in hydrological models. In this study, an empirical model is developed to relate ? only to soil volumetric water content ...

Abstract: oil heat transfer is complex, and conduction-alone models may not always perform well in estimating soil apparent thermal diffusivity. Soil apparent thermal diffusivity is related to soil temperature change propagation ...

Abstract: umerical weather and climate prediction systems necessitate accurate land surface?atmosphere fluxes, whose determination typically replies on a suite of parameterization schemes. The authors present a field investigation ...
