A review of scaling theory for hardware models and application to an urban dew model
Auteur :RICHARDS, K.
Description :
This paper reviews scaling theory for hardware models for physical geographers, especially those interested in micro- and urban climates, and out-of-doors models. Criteria addressed dealt with physical domains (i.e., space, time, and temperature fields), physical processes such as radiation, conduction and convection, and discrete enclosures such as buildings. A case study from the field of urban climatology is presented : the out-of-doors scale model constructed by the A. to study urban dew.
