Assessing urban heat island mitigation potential of realistic roof greening across local climate zones: A highly-resolved weather research and forecasting model study
Given their multifold benefits, green roofs are often considered to mitigate the urban heat
island (UHI) effect. Most mesoscale studies consider 100% green roof fraction or the same …
