The impact of vegetation on urban microclimate to counterbalance built density in a subtropical changing climate
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a brief review of planning with high-density and urban greening, having in mind that even low-density land use can contribute to urban heating, depending on the urban occupation pattern.

Influence of urban morphological characteristics on thermal environment
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of urban spatial forms on land surface temperature (LST), the spatial distribution of LST and five urban morphology indicators were analyzed, namely floor area ratio (FAR), plot ratio (PR), absolute rugosity (Ra), mean aspect ratio (λc), and sky view factor (SVF).

Greenery as a mitigation and adaptation strategy to urban heat
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the potential of green infrastructure as a mitigation strategy, focusing on greenery on the ground (parks) and green vegetation on buildings (green roofs and green walls).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically review 146 studies from 1987-2017 that conduct physically-based numerical modelling of urban air temperature reduction resulting from green-blue infrastructure and reflective materials and conclude that evaluation of the base case simulation is not a sufficient prerequisite for accurate simulation of heat mitigation strategy cooling.

Heat mitigation benefits of urban green and blue infrastructures: A systematic review of modeling techniques, validation and scenario simulation in ENVI-met V4
TL;DR: A comprehensive review was conducted on GBI-targeted studies enlisting ENVI-met as the primary tool, providing researchers with an overview of the ENvi-met methodology and recommendations to refine research on G BI thermal effects.

World Map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification updated
TL;DR: A new digital Koppen-Geiger world map on climate classification, valid for the second half of the 20 th century, based on recent data sets from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia and the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre at the German Weather Service.

Evaluating the use of “goodness-of-fit” Measures in hydrologic and hydroclimatic model validation
TL;DR: In this paper, the goodness-of-fit or relative error measures (including the coefficient of efficiency and the index of agreement) that overcome many of the limitations of correlation-based measures are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the validation of models
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that the correlation coefficieness between observed and simulated variates is not as good as observed variates, and that correlation can be improved.

Advantages of the mean absolute error (MAE) over the root mean square error (RMSE) in assessing average model performance
Cort J. Willmott,Kenji Matsuura +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the root-mean-square error (RMSE) and the mean absolute error (MAE) were examined to describe average model-performance error, and it was shown that MAE is a more natural measure of average error than RMSE.
