Analysis of the complex role of trees in street canyons using a large‐eddy simulation model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 769, April 2025 Part B.
Our large‐eddy simulations with high spatial resolution (down to 1 m) show a significant improvement in thermal comfort in shaded areas beneath trees during the hottest part of the day and just after sunset. However, they also highlight a drawback: in narrower streets, PM10 concentrations more than doubled compared with areas without trees, suggesting ...

Current Interventions Are Inadequate to Maintain Cities' Resilience During Concurrent Drought and Excessive Heat

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Climate change is expected to intensify the global water cycle, affecting land‐atmosphere feedbacks and surface water availability. This leads to prolonged droughts and excessive heat events, increasing vulnerability of cities to water scarcity and extreme heat.

Comparing Integrated Heat Stress Indicators With Raw Meteorological Variables in Predicting Heat Stroke‐Related Ambulance Transportations in Japan

GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The increasing threat of heat stress poses significant risks to human health globally. To quantify heat exposure more effectively, integrated heat stress indicators (HSIs) have been developed to simplify the classification of heat stress severity and assist in public heat warnings. However, their ability to accurately predict daily heat stroke

A Linear Sensitivity Framework to Understand the Drivers of the Wet‐Bulb Globe Temperature Changes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 5, 16 March 2025.
Abstract Better understanding of the physical drivers of sufficiently realistic representation of human heat stress is crucial for improving prediction and enhancing preparedness. Wet‐bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is a standard metric for workplace heat stress; however, its calculation involves complex parameterizations of radiative and convective ...

Associations Between Match‐Play Characteristics and Environmental Temperatures in 4 Professional Football Leagues

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 25, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the association between environmental temperature and match‐play characteristics (shooting, passing, dribbling and defending) in four professional football leagues. Twenty‐seven performance indicators (PI's) were collated from 1585 matches from the German Bundesliga 1 and 2, Spanish La Liga and Australian A‐League ...

Thermal stress in the northern Carpathians and air circulation

Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2020
In mountain areas, air circulation plays a major role in the forming of the climate. This paper examines how it influences thermal stress in the northern Carpathians. The Niedźwiedź’s classification of air circulation was applied.

Weather analysis applying the new clothing resistance model

Meteorological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
We analyzed the weather in terms of human thermal load. The human thermal load was characterized using the new clothing resistance model, which consists of a thermal and moisture module. The input variable of the model is sweating in addition to other atmospheric and human variables.

Effects of Urbanization and Climate Change on Heat Stress Under Relatively Dry and Wet Warm Conditions in a Semi‐Arid Urban Environment

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract This article investigates the effect of urban expansion and climate change impacts on heat stress (HS) for Arizona's (AZ; USA) two largest urban agglomerations, the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas, under relatively dry and moist warm conditions with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)‐urban modeling system.
