چکیده
INTRODUCTION Cities and the behaviour of their residents change through time. The spatial organization of urban areas, whether the footprint and height of buildings; the width, length, and layout of streets; where people live and where they work; the walkability and scale of neighbourhoods; the relative proximity of urban amenities; the type and diversity of urban green space all affect urban energy use. The global urban population is expected to increase up to 7 billion by 2050 (United Nations, 2010). Thus there are enormous opportunities to shape the built environment and for urban planning to play an important role in climate change mitigation (implementation of mitigation technologies, such as green roofs and cool materials) and adaptation (adaptation measures, such as emergency management plans) at the city level (Santamouris 2014). Mitigating climate change can be achieved better by regulating land-use change than CO2 emissions reductions alone (Stone 2009). The regionalized impacts of the anthropogenic heat emissions on climate have the effect of more directly localizing the benefits of land-based mitigation (Stone et al. 2012).

متن کاملBest and Grimmond (2016) Modelling the partitioning of turbulent fluxes at urban sites with varying vegetation cover J,. Hydrometeorology 1 Modelling the partitioning of turbulent fluxes at urban sites with varying vegetation cover
Inclusion of vegetation is critical for urban land surface models (ULSM) to represent reasonably the turbulent sensible and latent heat flux densities in an urban environment. Here the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES), an ULSM, is used to simulate the Bowen ratio at a number of urban and rural sites with vegetation cover varying between 1% and 98%. The results show that JULES is able...
متن کاملInvestigation of the impact of anthropogenic heat flux within an Urban Land Surface model and PILPS-urban
10 Results from the first international urban model comparison experiment (PILPS-Urban) suggested that models which 11 neglected the anthropogenic heat flux within the surface energy balance performed at least as well as models that 12 include the source term, but this could not be explained. The analyses undertaken show that the results from PILPS13 Urban were masked by the signal from includi...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal patterns of surface–atmosphere energy exchange in a dense urban environment using scintillometry
Spatially integrated measurements of the surface energy balance (SEB) are needed in urban areas to evaluate urban climate models and satellite observations. Scintillometers allow observations of sensible heat flux (QH) over much larger areas than techniques such as eddy covariance (EC), however methods are needed to partition between remaining unmeasured SEB terms. This is the first study to us...
متن کاملNumerical Prediction of Heat Island Mitigation Effect on Decrease in Air Temperature in Tokyo
The intensity of urban heat island is known to be stronger as city size (for example population of city) (Oke, 1973). In Tokyo 23 wards (hereinafter referred to as "Tokyo") with more than eight million people, urban heat island phenomenon is actualized and feared as a factor of increase in heatstroke patients and raising cooling energy consumption in summer. Therefore, Tokyo Metropolitan Govern...
