Deep waters a significant source of Black Carbon aerosols in the Arabian Sea
In-situ observations of atmospheric Black Carbon (BC) aerosols over the northern Indian Ocean are sparse, especially during the Indian Summer Monsoon season due to harsh and challenging oceanic conditions associated with strong south-westerly winds and rough sea states. In the present study, we measured atmospheric BC over the Arabian Sea (AS) during June on board a research expedition. While BC is expected to decrease as we move away from contin…
Role of green roofs in reducing heat stress in vulnerable urban communities—a multidisciplinary approach
Green infrastructure, such as green roofs, is increasingly being used to reduce 'heat stresses' associated with urban heat island effects. This article discusses strategies to identify vulnerable neighborhoods in the City of Chicago, where green roofs could achieve multiple goals to mitigate urban heat-related challenges. Numerical simulations were performed using the urbanized version of the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting mod…
Green and cool roofs to mitigate urban heat island effects in the Chicago metropolitan area
The effects of urban heat islands (UHIs) have a substantial bearing on the sustainability of cities and environs. This paper examines the efficacy of green and cool roofs as potential UHI mitigation strategies to make cities more resilient against UHI. We have employed the urbanized version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (uWRF) model at high (1 km) resolution with physically-based rooftop parameterization schemes (conventional, green and…
