Abstract This paper gives a review on the topic of mean radiant temperature Tmrt, most important parameter influencing outdoor thermal comfort during sunny conditions. Tmrt summarizes all short wave and long radiation fluxes reaching human body, which can be very complex (variable in spatial also temporal manner) urban settings. Thermal researchers planners need easy sound methodological approaches to assess Tmrt. After basics calculation some methods suitable for obtaining environments will...

ABSTRACT We analyse the average annual and seasonal air temperature conditions in ‘local climate zones’ ( LCZs ) of Szeged, Hungary. The basis our analysis is a 1‐year dataset from 2014 to 2015 for 20‐station urban meteorological network. network its corresponding LCZ classes put studies Szeged into new spatial framework assess local heat island (UHI) conditions. stations were installed at locally representative sites using Geographic Information System (GIS) method based on standard surface...

Owing to anthropogenic activity, local climate develops in the area of built-up zones. The characteristics zones can be quantified by different methods. One methods is Local Climate Zones (LCZ) classification system which describes physical conditions a local-scale environment measuring site from viewpoint generated climate. It applicable worldwide universally and relatively easily based on objective geometric, radiative thermal properties surface. objectives this study are develop GIS order...

The spatial distribution of the annual mean urban heat island (UHI) intensity pattern was analysed for medium-sized city Novi Sad, Serbia, located on low and flat Great Hungarian Plain. UHI determined by an empirical modelling method developed (Balázs et al. 2009). This based datasets from areas Szeged Debrecen (Hungary). study area in Sad (60 km 2 ) established as a grid network 240 cells (0.5 ×0.5 km). A Landsat satellite image (from June 2006) used order to evaluate normalized difference...

Abstract Urban air temperature is a crucial variable for many urban issues. However, the availability of often limited due to deficiency meteorological stations, especially in areas with heterogeneous land cover. Many studies have developed different methods estimate temperature. variables and local climate zone (LCZ) been less used this topic. Our study new method canopy layer during clear sky days by integrating surface (LST) from MODIS, based on reanalysis data, LCZ data Szeged, Hungary....
