Abstract:<p>Grey infrastructures like buildings, roads and parking lots relate to surface sealing, lack of ventilation and anthropogenic heat &#8211; leading to effects like urban heat (UHI) and dry islands (= higher temperatures and lower relative humidity), and impact surface runoff during precipitation events. Hence, urban climate conditions differ significantly from their rural surroundings, demanding more granular data to quantify the effect city space has on weather parameters. However, obse… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
