Local and state governments find it challenging to adopt aggressive residential building
codes that require energy-efficiency upgrades beyond those with a reasonable payback …

Global climate change and urbanization have significantly altered urban thermal
environments, escalating urban disasters and heat-related health issues. Considering the …

The present study examines the temporal and spatial variability of near‐surface air
temperature and the canopy layer urban heat island (UHI) in Singapore. Observations …

Intense and rapid urbanization is accompanied by expansion, with both planar and height
changes in the urban landscape influencing urban energy consumption, local climate, and …

There is still no consensus on the mechanisms that modify precipitation over and around
cities, especially for those located in the tropics where convective processes primarily drive …

For next-generation weather and climate numerical models to resolve cities, both higher
spatial resolution and subgrid parameterizations of urban canopy–atmosphere processes …

The current study highlights the importance of a detailed representation of urban processes
in numerical weather prediction models and emphasizes the need for accurate urban …

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) capabilities in the Maritime Continent are not as
developed as in the midlatitudes. Countries in the region do not develop their own modelling …

On top of their well known positive impact on air quality and CO2 emissions, electric vehicles
generate less exhaust heat compared to traditional vehicles thanks to their high engine …

To evaluate numerical weather predictions (NWP) using observations, the horizontal,
vertical and temporal resolution characteristics need to be considered to ensure …
