urban climate

It ultimately aims to mainstream urban climate adaptation throughout Europe.

They may grow in Sheffield because the urban climate is slightly warmer than the surrounding countryside.

Each stems from the local level with the ability of being implemented on multi-scales to mitigate and adapt to urban climate change.

The urban climate is slightly warmer than the natural climate, and would be reflected by the thermal sensation.

This is an example of how Seattle has been able use climate as a 'conceptual resource' in order to make urban climate more governable.

Urban climate refers to climatic conditions in an urban area that differ from neighboring rural areas and are attributable to urban development.

Development of a Zero-Dimensional Mesoscale Thermal Model for Urban Climate.

Impervious pavements deprive tree roots of aeration, eliminating the "urban forest" and the canopy shade that would otherwise moderate urban climate.

Energy and Water Sustainability - The Role of Urban Climate Change from Metropolitan Infrastructure.

Pathways through which specific global environmental changes affect urban systems (e.g., climate change impacts on urban areas; decline in ecosystem services on urban climate regulation).

Researcher T. R. Oke has studied the microclimate inside urban canyons, with the aim of determining the general properties of urban climate.

Later, as chief executive of the church's national missions, he established the Methodist Urban Service Training program to prepare clergy for the ministry in a changing urban climate.

Reasons for practicing urban reforestation include urban beautification, increasing shade, modifying the urban climate, improving air quality, and restoration of urban forests after a natural disaster.

The EU Cities Adapt project is the beginning of DG CLIMA's engagement and support for European cities on urban climate adaptation.

Not only the songs but Ms. Vega's clear, neutral delivery imply that in today's urban climate, feelings don't really count for much and that a clinical detachment may be a necessary form of spiritual self-preservation.

A form of self-governing within multi-level systems is horizontal collaboration where cities may collaborate with regions demonstrating multi-levels of governance to tackle urban climate change, imperative to the success of city climate change policy.

The levels of governance authority handed down to local governments within cities has been perceived to out-do policy goals within the national and international arena, with some local governments taking on their own initiatives for tackling urban climate change.

However, the CCP can overlook the activity of nation-states giving local governments the opportunity to amend positions of policy implementation and regulation for offsetting urban climate change, which may be of a controversial nature to national governments.

"The beautiful thing about tiki," he said, "is that it functions well in tropical climates, like in Florida and California, but it works just as well in the snow or in a harsh urban climate like New York.

He was also a pioneer in urban climate studies, publishing The Climate of London in 1818-20, which contained continuous daily observations of wind direction, atmospheric pressure, maximum temperature, and rainfall; it also demolished James Hutton's theory of rain, though without suggesting a definitive alternative.

Like "Pump Boys and Dinettes" and "Oil City Symphony," the world of "Smoke on the Mountain" is a sunny place in which a cutegreeting card nostalgia overlaps with a deeper strain of longing for qualities in the American character that can seem very distant in today's embattled urban climate.

This was reinforced by research investigations by physical geographers on urban climates, and the seminal work by Chandler (1965) on The Climate of London stimulated other physical geographers to document the magnitude and character of urban heat islands, of precipitation modification, of atmospheric pollution and of air movement.
