Efficacy of cool roofs at reducing pedestrian-level air temperature during projected 21st century heatwaves in Atlanta, Detroit, and Phoenix (USA)

The air temperature cooling impacts of infrastructure-based adaptation measures in expanding urban areas and under changing climatic conditions are not well understood. We present simulations conducted with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, coupled to a multi-layer urban model that e...
