Impacts of Long-Term Urbanization on Summer Rainfall Climatology in Yangtze River Delta Agglomeration of China

Longfei Han et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of urbanization on summer rainfall in the Yangtze River Delta using long-term observations and numerical simulations. The study finds that urbanization has led to increased summer rainfall in the region, particularly through the intensification of heavy rainfall events. The numerical simulations reproduce the observed urban rain island effect and show that urban expansion has increased summer rainfall over urban areas by an average of 51.91 mm. However, the urban rain island effect weakens in the later stages of urbanization, potentially due to the strengthening of precipitation-inhibiting effects.

Microclimate in an urban park and its influencing factors: a case study of Tiantan Park in Beijing, China

Yilun Li et al.

Summary: Construction of urban green spaces can effectively mitigate urban heat island effect, with better design improving thermal performance and ecosystem services. Factors like radiation condition and land cover composition play a significant role in influencing air temperature within the park. Understanding the microclimate conditions in urban parks can help designers create a more thermally friendly environment in the future.

Spatiotemporal characteristics of urban dry/wet islands in China following rapid urbanization

Zhuoran Luo et al.

Summary: Evapotranspiration plays a crucial role in connecting land surface hydrological processes with the atmosphere, impacting regional water cycles and water balance. Urbanization has been shown to affect the hydrological balance, leading to urban wet and dry island effects. The study compared humidity levels in urban areas in China before and after rapid urbanization, and found that cold and dry urban areas tended to have wet island effects, while warm and humid urban areas had dry island effects. Coastal cities were exceptions, remaining dry islands throughout the year. Despite an overall trend towards increased dry island intensity, absolute humidity generally increased, especially during winter with some regions in northern China experiencing up to 8%-16% increases, attributed to intensifying urban heat island effects. These results provide valuable insights into understanding the drivers and mechanisms of dry/wet island effects in urban areas.

Seasonal variation of dry and wet islands in Beijing considering urban artificial water dissipation

Zhuoran Luo et al.

Summary: Urbanization leads to the dry/wet island effects in built-up areas. Simulations can provide richer spatial distribution data compared to observational datasets, helping to reveal the characteristics of dry/wet islands. The study showed that Beijing was more likely to be a dry island during summer in 2020, while tending to be a wet island in winter.

Impact of Urban Expansion on Rain Island Effect in Jinan City, North China

Yanjun Zhao et al.

Summary: Rapid urbanization leads to changes in urban micro meteorology, impacting temperature and precipitation significantly. The study in Jinan City reveals that extreme climate indices vary greatly with urban expansion, showing a correlation with impervious surfaces. A rain island effect is observed in the city center, with increased frequency and intensity of precipitation events.
