Canyon geometry, the urban fabric and nocturnal cooling : a simulation approach
A simulation model for surface cooling in urban street canyons under calm conditions is described, based upon a simplified energy budget for the canyon facets containing only the net longwave and substrate heat flux densities. The effects of wall
Validation of an estimation model for urban surface albedo
The analyses presented in this study suggest that the Arnfield (1976 a, 1982) canyon radiation model is capable of producing acceptable estimates of urban surface albedo for land-use types consisting predominantly of canyons with lengths
