High-density cities, such as Singapore, are currently facing the urban heat island (UHI) effect, a phenomenon that leads to higher air and surface temperatures within area in comparison surroundings is one of most critical anthropogenic climate change-related environmental issues for contemporary high-density cities. This study aims investigate effect different morphologies high-rise low-rise b...

Urban morphology, including buildings’ typology and their configuration, affects sky view factor and insolation, which are two of the most influential parameters in urban microclimate. These become even more important in extreme environmental conditions. In this research, challenge was to generate various rule based urban morphologies in a parametric environment. Then, to evaluate them based on...

the public spaces in our today’s lives involve many sorts of activities, and the design of such spaces requires a wide range of studies. one of the critical studies in our country, due to its climatic variety, is about the thermal comfort of public outdoor spaces. this article has been conducted to investigate about possible architecture and landscape architecture design measurements which coul...

Abstract. Terrain parameters like topographic horizon and sky view factor (SVF) are used in numerous fields applications. In atmospheric climate modelling, such utilised to parameterise the effect of terrain geometry on radiation exchanges between surface atmosphere. Ideally, these derived from a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) because inferring them coarser data induces smoothing...

A single-band surface temperature retrieval method is proposed, aiming at achieving a better accuracy by exploiting the integration of aerial thermal images with LiDAR data and ground surveys. LiDAR data allow the generation of a high resolution digital surface model and a detailed modeling of the Sky-View Factor (SVF). Ground surveys of surface temperature and emissivity, instead, are used to ...

Large-scale traffic accidents caused by black ice on roads have increased rapidly; hence, there is an urgent need to prepare safety measures for their prevention. Here, we used local weather road observations and the linkage between prediction a radiation flux model (LDAPS-SOLWEIG) calculate information regarding habitual shade areas, sky view factor (SVF), downward shortwave radiative directio...

In hot, arid regions on university campuses, students are more vulnerable to heat stresses than in street canyons terms of function; however, the knowledge impact built environments thermal performance is still lacking. two summer and winter days, shading effect existing urban trees pattern a campus Egypt was examined correlate their Sky View Factor (SVF) with environment, meteorology, Physiolo...

As the basic component of urban green-spaces, plant communities regulate both microclimate and air particle levels. Understanding regulatory mechanism represents theoretical basis for using green spaces to improve climate mitigate pollution. Based on field investigations, differences in daily temperatures (AT), relative humidity (RH), PM10 PM2.5 concentrations eight compositional types were qua...
