Reduction of Solar UV Radiation Due to Urban High-Rise Buildings--A Coupled Modelling Study.
Solar UV radiation has both adverse and beneficial effects to human health. Using models (a radiative transfer model coupled to a building shading model), together with satellite and surface measurements, we studied the un-obstructed and obstructed UV environments in a sub-tropical urban environment...
