Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon resulting in the increase of ambient temperature in dense areas of cities in comparison with rural areas. UHI has been demonstrated to be relevant in the Sydney metropolitan area, with a peak intensity of up to 6掳C. This has the consequence of ...
The urbanheat island effectoccurs because urban structures can store more heat than open ground. This accumulated heat is released during the night, which is why nighttime temperatures increase even more thandaytime temperatures. At the same time urban surfaces hinder evaporation and its cooling effect...
Students and university patrons sit under the shade of the eucalypts and flame trees in the bio-retention gardens; that not only provide respite along Eastern Avenue but also harvest rain and stormwater from the site. The inclusion of a green roof over the Faculty of Law Building acts as a ...
What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the "urban heat-island effect". On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of ...
Cities import energy, which in combination with their typically high solar absorption and low moisture availability generates the urban heat island effect (UHI). The UHI, combined with human-induced warming, makes our densely populated cities particularly vulnerable to climate change. We examine the ...

The weather is moderated by proximity to the ocean, and more extreme temperatures are recorded in the inland western suburbs.[98] Sydney experiences an urban heat island effect.[104] This makes certain parts of the city more vulnerable to extreme heat, including coastal suburbs.[104][105] In...
Green infrastructure (GI) can help moderate urban overheating and mitigate surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) by providing protection from solar radiation, cooling surfaces through evapotranspiration, and modifying heat exchanges through advection. However, more research is needed to determine the optimum...
This study presents numerical simulations analysing the effect of urban heat island (UHI) mitigation measures on the chemical composition of the urban atmo... J Fallmann,R Forkel,S Emeis - 《Atmospheric Environment》 被引量: 36发表: 2016年 A partial susceptibility approach to analysing the magne...
Beach life is fused to city life in Sydney, so you can mix urban pleasures with swimming, surfing and refreshing seaside hikes. Sydney is very much a marine city. At its coastal edge the Pacific Ocean delivers non-stop surf to easy-going beachside suburbs like Dee Why, Manly, Bondi and...
