Urban microclimate at height

ENCONTRO NACIONAL DE CONFORTO NO AMBIENTE CONSTRUÍDO, 2023
Cities' morphologies determine the urban microclimate. The thermal conditions may differ according to the distance from the ground. For instance, air velocity and solar incidence tend to be higher as the height increases due to the decrease of obstacles to wind and radiation.

Impact of synoptic condition on urban microclimate variation: A measurement study in a humid subtropical city during summer season

, 2023
The urban microclimate is not only predominated by synoptic weather features but also closely related to heterogeneous characteristics of urban morphology. This study conducted an on-site field measurement campaign in Guangzhou, China from July to August

Influence of Scale Effect of Canopy Projection on Understory Microclimate in Three Subtropical Urban Broad-Leaved Forests

Remote Sensing, 2021
The canopy is the direct receiver and receptor of external environmental variations, and affects the microclimate and energy exchange between the understory and external environment. After autumn leaf fall, the canopy structure of different forests shows
