Development of an operational modeling system for urban heat islands: an application to Athens, Greece

Development of an operational modeling system for urban heat islands: an application to Athens, Greece

The urban heat island (UHI) effect is one prominent form of localized anthropogenic climate modification. It represents a significant urban climate problem since it occurs in the layer of the atmosphere where almost all daily human activities take place. This paper presents the development of a high...
