Abstract To bridge the gaps between traditional mesoscale modelling and microscale modelling, National Center for Atmospheric Research, in collaboration with other agencies research groups, has developed an integrated urban system coupled to weather forecasting (WRF) model as a community tool address environmental issues. The core of this WRF/urban consists following: (1) three methods different degrees freedom parameterize surface processes, ranging from simple bulk parameterization...
The potential of trees and other vegetation to reduce building cooling loads has been recorded in a number studies but the meso- microclimate changes producing such savings are not well understood. This paper describes preliminary attempt model effects landscaping on temperature, humidity, windspeed solar gain urban climates using information from existing agricultural meteorological studies, with particular attention placed quantifying plant evapotranspiration. climate is then used...
Based on the need for advanced treatments of high-resolution urban morphological features (e.g., buildings and trees) in meteorological, dispersion, air quality, human-exposure modeling systems future applications, a new project was launched called National Urban Database Access Portal Tool (NUDAPT). NUDAPT is sponsored by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) involves collaborations contributions from many groups, including federal state agencies, private academic institutions...
Urban greenery is a natural solution to cool cities and provide comfort, clean air significant social, health economic benefits. This paper aims present the latest progress on field of urban mitigation techniques including aspects related theoretical experimental assessment cooling potential, impact vegetation energy, comfort acquired knowledge best integration various types in frame. Also recent climate change performance investigate analyse possible technological solutions face high...
A simple bulk-parameterization scheme is implemented in modifying a mesoscale meteorological model to better incorporate urban heat storage. The objective improve the quantification of fluxes associated with storage change and more explicitly account for integrated effect canopy layer on overlying boundary layer. approach involves integrating an Objective Hysteresis Model model, which, this case, Colorado State University Mesoscale (CSUMM). When resulting modified version (MM) applied...
