The Columbia, Missouri, Heat Island Experiment (COHIX) and the Influence of a Small City on the Local Climatology [PDF]

, 2004
The heat island effect is a well known feature in the microclimate of urban areas but only a few studies have addressed the effect for smaller urban areas.

Numerical Studies on the Influence of Building Morphology on Urban Canopy Wind Speed

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Buildings increase the urban surface roughness and reduce near‐surface wind speeds in the urban canopy due to the drag effect. Urban heat storage and other effects cause urban warming as well, which decreases the urban boundary layer stability and ...

Quantifying the Heat Mitigation Capacity of Green-Blue Infrastructures in the Metropolis of Tehran [PDF]

تحقیقات کاربردی علوم جغرافیایی
The aim of this research is to evaluate the heat mitigation index (HMI) in the Tehran metropolitan area using the Urban Cooling Model (UCM) approach in a spatial framework. UCM produces maps of the Heat Mitigation Index.
