Abstract Urban trees influence temperatures in cities. However, their effectiveness at mitigating urban heat different climatic contexts and comparison to treeless green spaces has not yet been sufficiently explored. Here, we use high-resolution satellite land surface (LSTs) land-cover data from 293 European cities infer the potential of reduce LSTs. We show that exhibit lower than fabric across most summer during hot extremes. Compared continuous fabric, LSTs observed for are on average 0-4...
Abstract. Street trees are more and regarded as an effective measure to reduce excessive heat in urban areas. However, the vast majority of mesoscale climate models do not represent street explicit manner and, for example, take important effect shading by into account. In addition, canopy that interactions fabrics directly account usually limited or neighbourhood scale hence cannot be used analyse citywide greening. order between trees, elements atmosphere realistic regional weather...
Abstract In the face of an increasing number urban climate modelling studies performed at sub‐kilometre resolution, systematic investigations performance high‐resolution simulations and their dependency on spatial resolution are still very sparse. This study investigates impact scale representation area simulation with a multi‐layer canopy model (UCM) integrated in mesoscale numerical weather prediction for different resolutions. The potential using such system representing intra‐urban...
On top of their well known positive impact on air quality and CO 2 emissions, electric vehicles generate less exhaust heat compared to traditional thanks high engine efficiency. As such, have the potential mitigate excessive in urban areas—a problem which has been exacerbated due urbanisation climate change. Still, mitigation not fully understood. Here, we combine high-resolution traffic emission inventories with an model simulate fleet electrification near-surface temperature tropical city...

<p><span>Street trees are more and regarded as a potential measure to mitigate the excessive heat in urban areas resulting from climate change island. However, current knowledge of cooling effect street relies on studies at micro-scale while interactions city-scale yet be understood. In fact, vast majority large-scale modelling only represent outside canyon, neglecting important effects such shading...
