Modulation of Wintertime Canopy Urban Heat Island (CUHI) Intensity in Beijing by Synoptic Weather Pattern in Planetary Boundary Layer

Yuanjian Yang et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the spatiotemporal variations of the urban heat island (UHI) effect and its cause, focusing on the associations between canopy UHI intensity (CUHI) and synoptic weather patterns (SWPs) in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). The study finds that the SWPs, such as wind direction and humidity, greatly influence the strength of CUHII. Furthermore, it also reveals that the spatial pattern of CUHII is largely determined by local climate zones.

Joint occurrence of heatwaves and ozone pollution and increased health risks in Beijing, China: role of synoptic weather pattern and urbanization

Lian Zong et al.

Summary: Heatwaves paired with higher ozone concentration pose a serious threat to human health. This study in Beijing identified three synoptic weather patterns that contribute to compound heatwaves and ozone pollution events. These patterns are characterized by sinking air motion, low boundary layer height, and high temperatures. The synergy of heatwaves and ozone pollution increased the mortality risk from all non-accidental causes. Urbanization also played a role in increasing the risk of heatwaves and ozone pollution in urban areas.

A high-resolution monitoring approach of canopy urban heat island using a random forest model and multi-platform observations

Shihan Chen et al.

Summary: Due to rapid urbanization and intense human activities, the urban heat island effect has become a more concerning climatic and environmental issue. This study proposes a method for evaluating the canopy urban heat island intensity at high resolution by using remote sensing data and machine learning. The results show that wind speed is negatively correlated with the urban heat island effect, while wind direction is strongly correlated with the offset direction of the urban heat island effect.

Numerical investigations of Re-independence and influence of wall heating on flow characteristics and ventilation in full-scale 2D street canyons

Hongyu Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the integrated impacts of wind and thermal buoyancy on urban turbulence, ventilation, and pollutant dispersion in full-scale 2D deep street canyons. Results showed that different wall heating patterns can influence airflow patterns and pollutant dilution capacity in the street canyon environment.

Context sensitivity of surface urban heat island at the local and regional scales

Yunfei Li et al.

Summary: The study found the Gravitational Urban Morphology (GUM) index to be an effective predictor of Urban Heat Island (SUHI) intensity, and highlighted the strong performance of the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model in predicting SUHI intensity. The nonlinear regression model showed superior performance, emphasizing the potential of reducing SUHI through optimizing urban morphology.

Large-scale synoptic drivers of co-occurring summertime ozone and PM2.5 pollution in eastern China

Lian Zong et al.

Summary: Surface ozone (O-3) pollution during summer over eastern China has worsened in recent years, with a co-occurrence of surface O-3 and PM2.5 pollution under four different synoptic weather patterns (SWPs), two of which (Type 1 and Type 2) are particularly sensitive to compound pollution.
