An analytical model for daily‐periodic slope winds. Part 1: Surface radiation budget
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 150, Issue 764, Page 3911-3924, October 2024 Part A.The article presents an analytical model for evaluating representative daily‐periodic cycles of net surface radiation on a slope with any angle α$$ \alpha $$ (0∘≤α≤90∘$$ {0}^{\circ}\le \alpha \le 9{0}^{\circ } $$) and orientation, at any latitude and elevation (up to 2500 m), and for all seasons.

Water Resources Research, Volume 60, Issue 9, September 2024.Abstract Evapotranspiration (ET) $(ET)$ is a key process in the hydrological cycle that can help mitigate urban heat. ET $ET$ depends on the surface cover, as the surface affects the partitioning of precipitation between runoff and evapotranspiration. In urban neighborhoods, this surface cover is highly heterogeneous.

Monitoring and modeling of the urban micro-climate [PDF]
, 2013 Urban heat island phenomenon (UHI) is considered to be one of the major challenges encountered this century by the human kind. This phenomenon is characterized mainly by air temperatures in the city that are higher than those in the surrounding areas ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, Page 1540-1552, September 2024.Abstract Light availability (LAv) dictates a variety of biological and ecological processes across a range of spatiotemporal scales. Quantifying the spatial pattern of LAv in three‐dimensional (3D) space can promote the understanding of microclimates that are critical to fine‐scale species distribution.

Sky view factor measurement by using a spherical camera
Journal of Agricultural Meteorology, 2019 Sky view factor (SVF) is a ratio of sky in upper hemisphere and is an important index for many environmental studies. Frequently used method for measuring SVF is taking fisheye image of upper hemisphere by a camera with fisheye lens (Nikon FC-E8 and FC ...

Sky view factor as predictor of solar availability on building façades
Solar Energy, 2018 Solar availability on urban facades varies significantly, affected by obstructions by nearby buildings as well as orientation. A convenient way to evaluate their solar energy potential is deemed to facilitate the task of architects in increasing the use ...
