Harnessing Multiscale Topographic Environmental Variables for Regional Coral Species Distribution Models. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigate the application of multiscale topographic variables obtained from freely available bathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) for ecological modelling in seascape environments. Using a case study of three Acropora coral species in the Great Barrier Reef, we demonstrate that various spatial resolutions can effectively model coral ...

The Effect of Sky View Factor on the Thermic Ambiances: Case of Batna City
International journal of innovative studies in sociology and humanities, 2022 The urban microclimate influenced by the urban morphology and geometry of the built environment, in particular by the shading effect and the minimization of solar radiation, are among the elements that influence most the urban ambiances during the period

The analysis of urban Sky View Factor calculation based on geometric form
Academic Journal of Computing & Information Science, 2022 : Previous research has shown that there is a clear relationship between the urban morphology on one hand and the local solar irradiance and air temperature on the other hand.

Sustainability, 2021 In hot, arid regions on university campuses, students are more vulnerable to heat stresses than in street canyons in terms of function; however, the knowledge of the impact of built environments on thermal performance is still lacking.

Geometrical Assessment of Sunlit and Shaded Area of Urban Trees Based on Aligned Orthographic Views
Atmosphere, 2021 To quantify the ecosystem services of trees in urban environments, it is necessary to assess received direct solar radiation of each tree. While the Sky View Factor (SVF) is suitable for assessing the total incoming short- and longwave radiation fluxes ...
