Abstract Historically, the urban climate and its interaction with regional environment and larger-scale meteorological phenomena have been studied by comparing weather stations in urban and surrounding rural areas. Nevertheless, spatialized meteorological data are now available with different spatial resolutions, temporal frequencies, and time depths. Here with the Paris area as a case study, three products…Continue reading Long time series spatialized data for urban climatological studies, in International Journal of Climatolology

“Cities have committed to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and implement climate-change adaptation measures. Since, in practice, the planning of adaptation measures is a complex process we explore the maximum potential benefit that can be gained through adaptation measures for the city of Brussels. More specifically,  the effect of changes in albedo and vegetation fraction on…Continue reading Climate sensitivity to Land use Changes over the City of Brussels, in Geographica Pannonica, vol. 23.
