“…body was identical to the temperature of the approaching wind. Temperature becomes higher behind the body (Murakami et al 1999). Vertical air velocity behind the body (on the leeward side) was typically about 0.12 m/s and TKE was about 0.002 m 2 /s 2 .…”

Research into the wind microclimate and its effect on the accuracy and effectiveness of passive aerosol monitors is expanding as the importance of personal monitoring versus regional monitoring increases. The important phenomena for investigation include thermal and dynamic effects of the human body, contaminant dispersion around a human body and within a building complex, and the wind environment within a building (indoor/outdoor) complex. This paper demonstrates that the microclimate around the human body plays a critical role in contaminant transport near the body and thus can affect particle concentration measurements by personal samplers.

“…Murakami et al (1999) suggested the possibility of CFD analysis of winds at scales from human to urban. CFD methods have been used to examine flows around a single building (e.g., Murakami et al 1990;Kogaki et al 1997;Sada and Sato 2002).…”

This paper reviews the progress made in urban meteorology over the past few decades. The focus is on the impact of urban surfaces on the overlying atmosphere along the conventional meteorological frameworks. Section 1 details the difficulties in generalizing urban surfaces in a meteorological sense because of surface diversity, and considers whether conventional similarity law is applicable. Section 2 describes the characteristics of urban surfaces as the bottom boundary of the atmosphere and includes a discussion of land surface parameters and the resultant surface energy partitioning. Section 3 explains characteristics of the urban atmosphere, including temperature fields, local circulations and rainfall. Section 4 describes recent progress in numerical modeling and promising new technologies, thus revealing a possible future direction for urban meteorological studies.
