A Review of Current Investigations of Urban-Induced Rainfall and Recommendations for the Future
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent studies related to how the urban environment affects precipitation is provided, with a set of recommendations for what observations and capa- bilities are needed in the future to advance our understanding of the processes.

Coupling a Single-Layer Urban Canopy Model with a Simple Atmospheric Model: Impact on Urban Heat Island Simulation for an Idealized Case
Hiroyuki Kusaka,Fujio Kimura +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors incorporated a single-layer urban canopy model into a simple two-dimensional atmospheric model to describe the fundamental impact of the Urban Canopy model on an idealized urban heat island simulation.

Analyzing the heat island magnitude and characteristics in one hundred Asian and Australian cities and regions
TL;DR: The seasonal and diurnal variability of the UHI is analyzed and discussed while specific features and conditions like the urban heat island characteristics in coastal cities and the existence of daytime cool islands are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Urban-Induced Rainfall Anomalies in a Major Coastal City
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data from the world's first satellite-based precipitation radar (PR) aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and ground-based rain gauges to quantify rainfall anomalies that they hypothesize to be linked to extensive urbanization in the Houston area.

Numerical study of the daytime urban effect and its interaction with the sea breeze
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical experiment using a two-dimensional hydrostatic boundary-layer model was performed to examine the basic characteristics of the daytime heat-island circulation, and the results showed that a daytime circulation can develop that is much stronger than the nocturnal circulation in spite of a generally smaller value of Δθ.
