Background In a rapidly urbanizing world, many people have little contact with natural
environments, which may affect health and well-being. Existing reviews generally conclude …

Urban green infrastructure (UGI) has been increasingly promoted as a key measure to
mitigate heat stress in cities caused by the urban heat island effect and climate change …

Results from an experimental network of seven energy balance stations in and around a
European city are presented. The network of micrometeorological stations was part of the …

Summary The Basel UrBan Boundary Layer Experiment (BUBBLE) was a year-long
experimental effort to investigate in detail the boundary layer structure in the City of Basel …

Southern European functional urban areas (FUAs) are increasingly subject to heatwave
(HW) events, calling for anticipated climate adaptation measures. In the urban context, such …

Dieser Übersichtsartikel besteht aus zwei Teilen und widmet sich der Stadtklimatologie. In
Teil 1 werden nach kurzer Darstellung der Raum-und Zeitskalen des Stadtklimas sowie der …

A satellite-derived hysteresis model is presented for estimate heat storage in urban areas.
Storage heat flux, one of the dominant terms in the urban surface energy budget (USEB), is …

This paper attempts to illustrate the complexity of thermal infrared (TIR) data analysis for
urban heat island studies. While a certain shift regarding the use of correct scientific …

For decades thermal infrared satellite imagery has been used for climate studies of a variety
of geosystems, including urban areas. Additionally, airborne thermal remotely sensed data …

Urbanization alters land surface properties in absorbing, reflecting and emitting radiation as
well as infiltrating, evaporating and storing water. This consequently modifies surface energy …
