Seasonal dependence of the urban heat island on the street canyon aspect ratio
N.E. Theeuwes,Gert-Jan Steeneveld,R. J. Ronda,Bert G. Heusinkveld,L.W.A. van Hove,Albert A. M. Holtslag +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relation between the urban heat island (UHI) in the urban canyon and street geometry, in particular the aspect ratio, was studied. And the results of this research provide important insights for urban planning on how to use the aspect-ratio to mitigate the UHI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sky view factor calculations and its application in urban heat island studies
TL;DR: In this article, the sky view factor (SVF) was calculated from a rasterized point cloud height dataset (with 6'−'10 points per m2) and the resulting SVF depends on grid-resolution, search radius and number of directions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A diagnostic equation for the daily maximum urban heat island effect for cities in northwestern Europe
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a simple, diagnostic equation for the urban heat island (UHI) using dimensional analysis, which provides a first-order estimation of the daily maximum UHI based on routine meteorological observations and straightforward urban morphological properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cool city mornings by urban heat
TL;DR: In this paper, a general physical explanation for the urban urban cool island effect is presented and validated for the cloud-free days in the BUBBLE campaign in Basel, Switzerland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent cloud cover over mega-cities linked to surface heat release
N.E. Theeuwes,Janet F. Barlow,Adriaan J. Teuling,C. Sue B. Grimmond,Simone Kotthaus,Simone Kotthaus +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show observational evidence of a systematic enhancement of cloud cover in the afternoon and evening over two large metropolitan areas in Europe (Paris and London) and show that these prolonged clouds over the city might enhance the urban heat island via night-time radiative forcing.
