TL;DR: Applications are presented to illustrate UMEP's potential in the identification of heat waves and cold waves; the effect of green infrastructure on runoff; the effects of buildings on human thermal stress; solar energy production; and the impact of human activities on heat emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed observations from two flux towers in Beijing, China and revealed significant differences between the responses of urban and rural (cropland) ecosystems to heat waves, implying synergies between HWs and UHIs.

TL;DR: In this article, the Princeton ROof Model (PROM) is used to simulate the hygrothermal dynamics of green roof systems, which is embedded within the framework of the Princeton Urban Canopy Model, with a multi-layer spatially analytical heat transfer scheme and an improved hydrological module.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a physically-based P-R relationship, which utilizes soil moisture measurements that are often available in field experiments, based on the water balance equation over flat and horizontally homogenous GRs and evaluated against field measurements.

TL;DR: In this article, a quadrant analysis technique was used to investigate the turbulent transport of momentum and scalars over an urban canopy. But the authors focused on the difference between ejections and sweeps, the dissimilarity between momentum and scales, and the different scalars (i.e., temperature, water vapour, and different scales).
