UrbanMeteorologie
Urban meteorology is a subfield of meteorology that studies atmospheric processes within and around cities, focusing on how urban form, surface properties, and human activities shape weather and climate at local scales.
Cities alter radiation balance through higher impervious surfaces, shading, and heat storage in concrete and asphalt,
Wind and dispersion patterns are strongly influenced by street canyons, roughness, and anthropogenic heat release, leading
Data collection relies on dense observational networks, mobile and fixed sensors, and remote sensing, complemented by
Applications include urban planning, public health and energy management, and climate adaptation, with strategies such as
Challenges include high spatial heterogeneity, limited data in many cities, scale interactions between micro and meso
