Wind energy continues to stand out as a more established and mature technology to offset a
large proportion of power. Efforts aimed at improving wind energy use to meet the energy …

Doppler wind LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) makes use of the principle of optical
Doppler shift between the reference and backscattered radiations to measure radial …

This study analyzes inter-and intra-zonal seasonal variability of surface urban heat islands
(SUHIs) within the methodological framework of local climate zones (LCZs) in three central …

Rapid urbanisation and climate change are two major trends in Africa in need of further
investigation. In this paper, the urban thermal environment and vegetation abundance in …

Abstract Knowledge of the vertical wind-speed profile in cities is important for the
construction and insurance industries, wind energy predictions, and simulations of pollutant …

The centre of cities, characterised by spatial and temporal complexity, are challenging
environments for micrometeorological research. This paper considers the impact of sensor …

The transitioning from overall steady-state thermal conditions indoors to non-steady and non-
uniform conditions encompasses the airflow field generated by means of air conditioning …

Currently there are few observations of the urban wind field at heights other than rooftop
level. Remote sensing instruments such as Doppler lidars provide wind speed data at many …

The Finnish Meteorological Institute, in collaboration with the University of Helsinki, has
established a new ground-based remote-sensing network in Finland. The network consists …

The study of the boundary layer can be most difficult when it is in transition and forced by a
complex surface, such as an urban area. Here, a novel combination of ground-based remote …
