Rainfall Interception by Sacramento's Urban Forest
A one-dimensional mass and energy balance model was developed to simulate rainfall interception in Sacramento County, California. The model describes tree interception processes: gross precipitation, leaf drip, stem flow, and evaporation. Kriging was used to extend existing meteorological point data over the region. Regional land use/ land cover and tree canopy cover were parameterized with dat...
متن کاملi-Tree Streets/Design/Eco Rainfall Interception Model Comparisons
i-Tree Streets/Design and Eco estimate annual rainfall interception by urban forest based on different physics-based water balance models. Streets/Design is based on Xiao et al. (1998), while Eco is based on Wang et al. (2008) and improved by Hirabayashi (2013). In Xiao et al. (1998), annual rainfall interception percentage against the gross precipitation in Sacramento County, CA was estimated ...
متن کاملRainfall interception and drop size-development and calibration of the two-layer stochastic interception model.
This paper reviews the development of the stochastic interception model from the original, single-layer, drop-size-dependent model to the two-layer model that recognizes that vegetation canopies are wetted through both the primary impact of raindrops to the top layer of the canopy and secondary impacts from drops falling from the vegetation to lower layers of the canopy. It is shown that drop v...
متن کاملConvective heat transfer on leeward building walls in an urban environment: measurements in an outdoor scale model
Convection over the building envelope is a critical determinant of building cooling load, but parameterization of convection in building energy models and urban computational fluid dynamics models is challenging. An experimental investigation intended to clarify the heat transfer mechanism of a convective wall boundary layer (WBL) on a leeward, vertical building wall was conducted at the Compre...
متن کاملA realistic outdoor urban pedestrian mobility model
Existing generative mobility models, used to produce mobility data for simulated agents in, e.g., wireless network simulations, suffer from a number of limitations. Most significantly, existing models are not representative of actual human movement. We introduce a new mobility model based on state-of-the-art work in understanding pedestrian mobility patterns in urban areas, known as Space Synta...
