  • Magnitude of urban heat islands largely explained by climate and population

    Open AccessGabriele Manoli, Simone Fatichi et al.ARTICLENature2019

  • Interactions between urban heat islands and heat waves

    Open AccessLei Zhao, Michael Oppenheimer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Heat waves (HWs) are among the most damaging climate extremes to human society. Climate models consistently project that HW frequency, severity, and duration will increase markedly over this century. For urban residents, the urban heat island (UHI) effect further exacerbates the heat stress resulting from HWs. Here we use a climate model to investigate the interactions between the UHI and HWs in 50 cities in the United States under current climat…

  • The effectiveness of cool and green roofs as urban heat island mitigation strategies

    Open AccessDan Li, Elie Bou‐Zeid et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

    Mitigation of the urban heat island (UHI) effect at the city-scale is investigated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in conjunction with the Princeton Urban Canopy Model (PUCM). Specifically, the cooling impacts of green roof and cool (white/high-albedo) roof strategies over the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area during a heat wave period (7 June–10 June 2008) are assessed using the optimal set-up of WRF-PUCM described in…

  • Quality and sensitivity of high-resolution numerical simulation of urban heat islands

    Open AccessDan Li, Elie Bou‐Zeid et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

    High-resolution numerical simulations of the urban heat island (UHI) effect with the widely-used Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model are assessed. Both the sensitivity of the results to the simulation setup, and the quality of the simulated fields as representations of the real world, are investigated. Results indicate that the WRF-simulated surface temperatures are more sensitive to the planetary boundary layer (PBL) scheme choice durin…

  • Synergistic Interactions between Urban Heat Islands and Heat Waves

    Dan Li, Elie Bou‐Zeid et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Meteorology…2013

    Cities are well known to be hotter than the rural areas that surround them; this phenomenon is called the urban heat island. Heat waves are excessively hot periods during which the air temperatures of both urban and rural areas increase significantly. However, whether urban and rural temperatures respond in the same way to heat waves remains a critical unanswered question. In this study, a combination of observational and modeling analyses indica…

  • Landfill evolution and treatability assessment of high‐strength leachate from msw with high organic and moisture content

    M El‐Fadel, Mutasem El-Fadel et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2003

    The generation of contaminated leachate remains an inevitable consequence of the practice of solid waste disposal in landfills. The collection and treatment of leachate have become common practice in order to prevent environmental pollution. Leachate treatment is highly dependent on the quality of leachate, which in turn is influenced by various factors including waste composition and operational procedures. This paper investigates the treatabili…
