Journal ArticleDOI
Aerodynamic Properties of Urban Areas Derived from Analysis of Surface Form
C. S. B. Grimmond,Timothy R. Oke +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, several methods to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of a site through analysis of its surface form (morphometry) are considered in relation to cities, including zero-plane displacement length (zd), roughness length(z0), depth of the roughness sublayer, and aerodynamic conductance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES), model description – Part 1: Energy and water fluxes
Martin Best,M. Pryor,Douglas B. Clark,G. G. Rooney,Richard Essery,Cécile B. Ménard,John M. Edwards,Margaret Hendry,Aurore Porson,Nicola Gedney,Lina M. Mercado,Stephen Sitch,Eleanor Blyth,Olivier Boucher,Olivier Boucher,Peter M. Cox,C. S. B. Grimmond,Richard Harding +17 more
TL;DR: The Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) as discussed by the authors is developed from the Met Office Surface Exchange Scheme (MOSES) and can be used as a stand alone land surface model driven by observed forcing data, or coupled to an atmospheric global circulation model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The integrated WRF/urban modelling system: development, evaluation, and applications to urban environmental problems
Fei Chen,Hiroyuki Kusaka,Robert Bornstein,Jason Ching,C. S. B. Grimmond,Susanne Grossman-Clarke,Thomas Loridan,Kevin W. Manning,Alberto Martilli,Shiguang Miao,David J. Sailor,Francisco Salamanca,Haider Taha,Mukul Tewari,Xuemei Wang,Andrzej A. Wyszogrodzki,Chaolin Zhang,Chaolin Zhang +17 more
TL;DR: The authors developed an integrated urban modelling system coupled to the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model as a community tool to address urban environmental issues, which can capture urban heat islands, complex boundary-layer structures aloft, and urban plume T&D for several major metropolitan regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The International Urban Energy Balance Models Comparison Project: First Results from Phase 1
C. S. B. Grimmond,Matthew Blackett,Martin Best,Janet F. Barlow,Jong-Jin Baik,Stephen E. Belcher,Sylvia I. Bohnenstengel,Isabelle Calmet,Fei Chen,A. Dandou,Krzysztof Fortuniak,M.L. Gouvea,Rafiq Hamdi,Margaret A. Hendry,Tadashi Kawai,Yoichi Kawamoto,Hiroaki Kondo,E. S. Krayenhoff,Sang-Hyun Lee,Thomas Loridan,Alberto Martilli,Valéry Masson,Shiguang Miao,Keith W. Oleson,G. Pigeon,Aurore Porson,Aurore Porson,Young-Hee Ryu,Francisco Salamanca,Limor Shashua-Bar,Gert-Jan Steeneveld,Maria Tombrou,James A. Voogt,Duick T. Young,Ning Zhang +34 more
TL;DR: The aim of the comparison overall is to understand the complexity required to model energy and water exchanges in urban areas and to identify those modeling approaches that minimize the errors in the simulated fluxes of the urban energy balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat Storage in Urban Areas: Local-Scale Observations and Evaluation of a Simple Model
C. S. B. Grimmond,Timothy R. Oke +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple objective hysteresis model (OHM) is used to calculate storage heat flux as a function of net all-wave radiation and the surface properties of the site, which performs well in most cases, with the notable exception of Tucson; but considerable scatter is observed at some sites.
