Numerical Simulation of Vertical Profiles of Meteorological Variables in Urban Neighborhoods: Coupling an Urban Vertical Diffusion Model With a Single‐Layer Urban Canopy Model (UVDM‐SLUCM)

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Heterogeneous landscape leads to large variations of urban microclimate in all dimensions, yet the vertical variability of meteorological elements within the urban canopy layer (UCL) has been rarely examined. In the present study, we developed an urban vertical diffusion model coupled with a single‐layer urban canopy model.

Strategies for Statistical‐Dynamical Downscaling to Urban Climate Using Global Data

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.
For the statistical part of statistical‐dynamical downscaling, a new formulation for the climate statistics is found. For the dynamical part of statistical‐dynamical downscaling, one‐way nesting with three nests (HH250) and one times nesting with a non‐uniform grid (HH6to250) are performed and evaluated.

Assessing the Urban Heat Island Effect Across Biomes in the Continental USA Using Landsat and MODIS [PDF]

, 2011
Impervious surface area (ISA) from the Landsat TM and land surface temperature (LST) from MODIS averaged over three annual cycles (2003-2005) are used in a spatial analysis to assess the urban heat island (UHI) skin temperature amplitude and its ...

A Climatology of Heatwaves Over Greece for the Period 1960–2022

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 2, February 2026.
This research examines the spatiotemporal evolution of heatwaves in Greece from 1960 to 2022, utilising a long timeseries of homogenised high‐quality data with broad spatial coverage. It focuses on identifying heatwaves using verified definitions, introducing spatial and intensity classifications to understand their diverse regional variations ...

Urban Heat Island (UHI) and heat waves: what relations?

, 2018
With four years of measurements and alarge sample of stations, the MUSTARDijon network allows for a detailed characterization of the Urban HeatIsland (UHI), a warm season phenomenon. But UHI and maximum temperature values are out of phase at twodistinct time-scales. Seasonally, the maxima of UHI occur from May to July, i.e.

Large Streamflow Differences Between Forested and Urbanized Watersheds in the Energy‐Limited Eastern United States: The Role of Evapotranspiration and Impervious Surfaces

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Urban forests and other green infrastructures have been viewed as part of the “Nature‐based Solutions” (NbS) to mitigate emerging urban environmental change. This study focuses on the role of evapotranspiration (ET) in regulating water balances of small watersheds in the eastern United States.
