Using ENVI-met simulation to analyze heat island intensity in megalopolises
Vestnik MGSU, 2020 Introduction. The simulation of urban microclimates, including the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon, has turned all the more important for urban planning. Presently, the analysis of this phenomenon is feasible thanks to high computational power of computers and links between computer modeling instruments and databases that contain information on ...
