Local Climatological Modelling for Road Stretches and Urban Areas

Abstract

The local climate is described by using models coupled to form larger units. The work has a geographical approach in which the surface properties are the most important parameters. One example is from the project on a local climatological model for prediction of air and road surface temperatures along road stretches, where five geographical factors are primarily considered. The other is from an urban climatological project and deals with the relation between land use, urban structure and local climate.
