Description

Urban Heat Island Modeling for Tropical Climates takes into account the different urban physics in tropical environments, presenting a way of UHI scaling for tropical cities. Topics include measuring, modeling and proper mitigation strategies, which account for the surface energy balance of tropics. Tropical cities are more susceptible to the effects of projected global warming because of conditions in tropical climates and the rapid growth of so many cities in this zone. The need for research on measuring, modeling and mitigation of UHI effects in tropical cities is of growing importance. This book walks through the basics of Urban Heat Islands, including causes, measurement and analysis then expands upon issues as well as the novel techniques that can be used to address issues specific to the region. Review A full synthesis of scientific and applied research on UHI phenomena in tropical urban climates from its formation to mitigation About the Author Ansar Khan is an assistant professor of geography at Lalbaba College, University of Calcutta in India. A global leader in the field of urban climate research, his work incorporates simulation and numerical modeling of tropical climatic events. A key focus of his research is searching for appropriate mitigation strategies and technologies to decrease the overheating of tropical urban areas while also decreasing energy consumption and protecting health. Soumendu Chatterjee is a professor and chair of the Department of Geography at Presidency University in India and was formerly a member for the Commission on Hazard and Risk of International Geographical Union (IGU). His current research focuses on Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) modeling in the context of the dynamic nature of terrestrial and atmospheric phenomena, biophysical systems, and human adaptations. Yupeng Wang is a distinguished research scholar in the Department of Human Settlements and Civil Engineering at Xi’an Jiaotong University in China. With past projects including urban microclimates and heat island mitigation measures, he continues to focus his research on urban heat islands, sustainable urban development, and urban environmental simulation and evaluation.
