Increasing urbanization and population growth have brought attention to urban
microclimates in recent years. The study on urban microclimate and its impact on the built …

This paper studies the use of Remote Sensing (RS) technologies and Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) for estimation of city-wide photovoltaic (PV) potential in Hong …

Urban surface temperature is a very important variable in the observation and
understanding of energy exchange. A comprehensive understanding of the urban thermal …

This study presents a Single Channel Method using Urban Exitance Model (UEM-SCM) to
retrieve land surface temperature (LST) from satellite data in an urbanized city, and …

Identification and mapping of various habitats with sufficient spatial details are essential to
support environmental planning and management. Considering the complexity of diverse …

The complete surface temperature (T c) in urban areas, defined as the mean temperature of
the total active surface area, is an important variable in urban micro-climate research …

Urban morphology affects the sensible heat flux and net radiation exchange which can alter
urban heat mitigation plans. This study first parameterized the geometric effects on the net …

Vegetation is important for urban heat mitigation. The cooling intensity of vegetation is
affected by background climate and urban design. How to evaluate vegetation cooling …

This study aims to evaluate the effects of urban geometry on retrieval of emissivity and
surface temperature in urban areas. An improved urban emissivity model based on sky view …

Accurate mapping of wind ventilation in an urban environment is challenging when large
spatial coverage is required. This study has developed a GIS-based model for estimating the …
