Heat risk assessment for the Brussels capital region under different urban planning and greenhouse gas emission scenarios.
TL;DR: The projections show that the influence of GHG emissions trumps urban planning measures in each period and demonstrate the need for mitigation and adaptation plans at different policy levels that strive for lowerGHG emissions and the development of sustainable urban areas safeguarding livability in cities.
Lack of vegetation exacerbates exposure to dangerous heat in dense settlements in a tropical African city

TL;DR: In this article , the authors derived the daily mean, minimum and maximum Humidex in order to quantify and explain intra-urban heat stress variation in the city of Kampala, Uganda.
The COST733 circulation type classification software: an example for surface ozone concentrations in Central Europe
TL;DR: The results suggest that the use of CTCs based on optimisation algorithms are performing slightly better than those which are based on other algorithms (predefined thresholds, principal component analysis and leader algorithms) within the subset of methodologies with a similar number of types.

TL;DR: The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) scheme as mentioned in this paper is a typology of urban and natural landscapes that also provides relevant information on basic physical properties of the landscape, which can be used in modelling and observational studies.
Modeling the energy balance in Marseille: Sensitivity to roughness length parameterizations and thermal admittance
TL;DR: In this article, a 4-day intensive observation period was selected to evaluate the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS), a nonhydrostatic meteorological mesoscale model that was optimized with a parameterization for thermal roughness length to better represent urban surfaces.
