The paper deals with the following subjects : 1. Air-directing tracks relevant to the urbanclimate - definitions 2. Requirements concerning the air-directing tracks relevant to the urbanclimate 3. Realization of the GIS-based mapping-technique
Comme toutes les grandes villes, Berlin possède un climat urbain spécifique. Il dépend en partie d'une localisation de la ville au centre d'une grande vallée constituée de dépôts morainiques. Pour mesurer l'influence du climat urbain sur la faune et
Possibilities of GIS in climate researches, especially in urbanclimate are invaluable. The paper presents brief information about current possibilities of new GIS techniques for urbanclimate researches and also GIS as decision support system among
other things for spatial planning of urban areas. - (BJ)

This article reviews the range of climate-related threats to biodiversity in the aquatic, intertidal and terrestrial habitats of urban-areas. London is used as a case study to illustrate potential impacts, and to contend that green spaces in cities
could be used by planners to counter climate-related threats to biodiversity, as well as to improve flood control and air quality, and reduce urban heat island effects.

Three themes have been chosen for this report. The first is a methodological one, underlining the continuing importance of numerical simulation techniques in the investigation of small-scale climatic phenomena. The two remaining themes explore
This report on recent work in applied climatology will examine some key areas of urban climatology and meteorology, particularly those concerned with understanding more fully the processes that produce urbanclimates. Contemporary approaches
to amelioration of urban impacts on local climate, and to improved design of the urban landscape, are also covered.
The multi-annual variability of thermal, solar and cloudiness conditions in Cracow was examined from the point of view of the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors on the climate change. The analysis concerned the annual air temperature range
(RAT) and daily ranges of air temperature (DAT) in january and july. Special attention has been paid to the climatic trends and changes of climatic continuity. Long-term changes of RAT reflect the impact of the circulation factors, these of DAT

This article explores two interrelated research objectives. First, it seeks to understand how local governments regulate climate change. Second, it examines the motivations for participation in urbanclimate change programs. Results show
a preference for policies that rely on changes in individual behavior, economic incentives, and federal inaction on local government justification for climate-related policies. It concludes with a discussion of urbanclimate governance as part of a wider sys
-tem of neoliberal climate governance in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.

for prediction of air and road surface temperatures along road stretches, where five geographical factors are primarily considered. The other is from an urban climatological project and deals with the relation between land use, urban structure and local climate.
The local climate is described by using models coupled to form larger units. The work has a geographical approach in which the surface properties are the most important parameters. One example is from the project on a local climatological model
