The Effect of Neighboring Objects on Non-Rainfall Water
AtmosphereWith non-rainfall water (NRW), principally dew and fog, serving as an important water source, especially in arid and semiarid regions, factors that may increase the NRW yield may have important hydrological and ecological consequences. On the other hand,

Impact of street geometry on downward longwave radiation and air temperature in an urban environment
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2004 A study on urban geometry has been carried out with regard to urban climate in a medium-sized central European city. Thereby the interrelation between the sky view factor (SVF, the portion of visible sky seen by an observer), downward longwave radiation ...
