Sensitivity study of the urban heat island intensity to urban characteristicsInternational Journal of Climatology - Tập 28 Số 7 - Trang 973-982 - 2008
Rafiq Hamdi, G. Schayes
AbstractA detailed urban surface exchange parameterization, implemented in a
meso‐scale atmospheric model, has been used to study the urban heat island (UHI)
intensity during a summer period in the city of Basel, Switzerland. In this
urban parameterization, the city is represented as a combination of three urban
classes (road, roof and wall), characterized by the size of the street canyon
and the ... hiện toàn bộ
A review of methods for estimating anthropogenic heat and moisture emissions in the urban environmentInternational Journal of Climatology - Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 189-199 - 2011
David J. Sailor
AbstractEnergy consumption in the urban environment impacts the urban surface
energy budget and leads to the emission of anthropogenic sensible heat and
moisture into the atmosphere. Anthropogenic heat and moisture emissions vary
significantly both in time and space, and are not readily measured. As a result,
detailed models of these emissions are not commonly available for most cities.

How much can air conditioning increase air temperatures for a city like Paris, France?International Journal of Climatology - Tập 33 Số 1 - Trang 210-227 - 2013

AbstractA consequence of urban heat islands in summer is an increase in the use
of air conditioning in urbanized areas, which while cooling the insides of
buildings, releases waste heat to the atmosphere. A coupled model consisting of
a meso‐scale meteorological model (MESO‐NH) and an urban energy balance model
(TEB) has been used to simulate and quantify the potential impacts on street

Modelling the influence of urbanization on the 20th century temperature record of weather station De Bilt (The Netherlands)International Journal of Climatology - Tập 35 Số 8 - Trang 1732-1748 - 2015
S. Koopmans, Natalie Theeuwes, Gert‐Jan Steeneveld, A.A.M. Holtslag
ABSTRACTMany cities have expanded during the 20th century, and consequently some
weather stations are currently located closer to cities than before. Due to the
urban heat island (UHI) effect, those weather stations may show a positive bias
in their 2‐m temperature record. In this study, we estimate the impact of
urbanization on the temperature record of WMO station De Bilt (The Netherlands).

Classification of rainfall variability by using artificial neural networksInternational Journal of Climatology - Tập 21 Số 11 - Trang 1401-1414 - 2001
Silas Michaelides, Constantinos S. Pattichis, Georgia Kleovoulou
AbstractIn this paper, the usefulness of artificial neural networks (ANNs) as a
suitable tool for the study of the medium and long‐term climatic variability is
examined. A method for classifying the inherent variability of climatic data, as
represented by the rainfall regime, is investigated. The rainfall recorded at a
climatological station in Cyprus over a long time period has been used in this

Climate‐related trends of actual evapotranspiration over the Tibetan Plateau (1961–2010)International Journal of Climatology - Tập 38 Số S1 - 2018

ABSTRACTActual evapotranspiration (ETa) is an important component of the
hydrologic cycle. In this study, ETa on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is calculated
using the advection‐aridity model (AA model) with data from 86 meteorological
stations during the period from 1961 to 2010. Results show that the mean annual
ETa over the TP was 543 mm and range from 147 to 687 mm, with higher values in
the souther... hiện toàn bộ
