Sky view factor as a parameter in applied climatology rapid estimation by the SkyHelios model
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2011 Graphic processors can be integrated in simulation models computing e.g. three-dimensional flow visualization or radiation estimation. Going a step further it is even possible to use modern graphics hardware as general-purpose array processors.

MAPPING LOCAL CLIMATE ZONES WITH A VECTOR-BASED GIS METHOD [PDF]
, 2013 In this study we determined Local Climate Zones in a South-Hungarian city, using vector-based and raster-based databases. We calculated seven of the originally proposed ten physical (geometric, surface cover and radiative) properties for areas which are ...

A GIS-based assessment method for mean radiant temperature in dense urban areas [PDF]
, 2012 The mean radiant temperature (Tmrt) is among the most important factors affecting thermal comfort. Its assessment in dense cities has been complicated due to the presence of buildings, pavings, and infrastructure. This paper introduced the RAMUM model, a
