Abstract The World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) is an international community-based initiative to acquire disseminate climate relevant data on the physical geographies of cities for modeling analysis purposes. current lacuna globally consistent information a major impediment urban science toward informing developing mitigation adaptation strategies at scales. WUDAPT consists database portal system; its structured into hierarchy representing different levels detail, are...
The increase in air temperature produced by urbanization, a phenomenon known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect, is often neglected current building energy simulation practices. UHI effect can have an impact on consumption of buildings, especially those with low internal gains or inherent close interaction outdoor environment (e.g. naturally-ventilated buildings). This paper presents weather generator (UWG) to calculate temperatures inside canyons from measurements at operational station...
Cities are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather episodes, which expected increase with climate change. also influence their own local climate, for example, through the relative warming known as urban heat island (UHI) effect. This review discusses features (even in complex terrain) and processes. We then present state-of-the-art methodologies on generalization of a common neighborhood classification UHI studies, well recent developments observation systems crowdsourcing approaches....
Societies have to both reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and undertake adaptation measures limit the negative impacts of global warming on population, economy environment. Examining how best adapt cities is especially challenging as urban areas will evolve climate changes. Thus, examining strategies for requires a strong interdisciplinary approach involving planners, architects, meteorologists, building engineers, economists, social scientists. Here we introduce systemic modelling...
Abstract To build healthy, resilient, and climate‐responsive cities, planners need ways to understand the local complexities of urban thermal climates. assist in meeting this need, study employs simple classification “local climate zones” (LCZs) conduct a spatiotemporal climatic analysis Toulouse Metropolitan Region (France) under warm dry summer conditions. Simulations are performed using mesoscale atmospheric model Méso‐NH. These simulations provide city‐wide spatial coverage 2‐m air...
Cities interact with the atmosphere over a wide range of scales from large-scale processes, which have direct impact on global climate change, to smaller scales, ranging conurbation itself individual buildings. The review presented in this paper analyzes some ways cities influence atmospheric thermodynamics and airborne pollutant transport. We present main physical processes that characterize urban local meteorology (the microclimate) air pollution. focus small-scale impacts, including heat...
Abstract The urban-breeze circulation is a mesoscale response of the atmospheric flow that related to horizontal variations in temperature associated, for dry conditions, with gradients sensible heat flux densities. This local difficult observe simple observational deployment, and 3D numerical simulations needed model it are very demanding computer time. A theoretical approach scaling daytime urban island characteristics has been developed provides set equations depend on measurable...
Abstract Urban canopy models (UCMs) are being used as urban-climate prediction tools for different applications including outdoor thermal comfort and building energy consumption. To take advantage of their low computational cost, UCMs often forced offline without coupled to mesoscale atmospheric simulations, which requires access meteorological information above the urban layer. This limits use by other scientific professional communities, such engineers planners, who interested in but may...
This paper proposes a method based on local weather type classification approach to facilitate analysis and communication of climate information in studies. Presented herein is an application urban climatology Toulouse, France, but the can be used other applied fields as well. To describe climatic context this urbanized area, types that explain plurality situations Toulouse faces are presented depth. In order show potential for use approach, study changes terms frequency intensity within...
Abstract Cities modify their local climate, and at the same time they suffer from impacts of climate change. Our paper discusses progress obstacles in three active research topics that contribute to increasing capability within urban community for transferring knowledge society. The first is linked production surface descriptions useful studies. concept zones now widely used represent variability neighborhood scale. Land‐use, morphological, architectural, social data are also needed, those...

A statistical clustering k-means used. tens clusters seems enough describe variability wind regimes, precipitation and thermal humidity amplitude. These are identified future reconstructed sequences at obtained for all variables needed by...
This article presents a dataset of spatial nocturnal Urban Heat Island (UHI) intensities for 45 French urban agglomerations, at horizontal resolution 250 m. The influence on air temperature 2 m above ground level was obtained by coupling the mesoscale atmospheric model Meso-NH with land surface SURFEX-TEB. For each agglomeration, two specific local weather situations that favour development strong UHI in summer are simulated and described specfic sheet. Simulation outputs have been...
