The ‘near-ground wind field’ and the ‘cold-air volume flow density’ support effective ventilation in settlement areas, which can help reduce human-biometeorological stress. 04.10.1 Near-Ground Wind Field and Cold-Air Volume Flow Density (10 pm and 4 am)More information

Air temperature is particularly relevant for assessing conditions at night. 04.10.2 Near-Ground Air Temperature (2 pm and 4 am)More information

Surface temperatures are shaped mainly by surface colour and land use structure. Lighter surfaces reflect more solar radiation, while darker surfaces convert solar radiation into heat. Depending on the material, this heat is stored during the day and released back into the near-ground air layer at night. 04.10.8 Surface Temperature (2 pm and 4 am)More information

The map illustrates how temperatures drop across different grid cells between 10 pm and 4 am on a clear summer night. The extent of nocturnal cooling is closely tied to the thermal properties of various surfaces without building structures, particularly their heat flux. 04.10.4 Nocturnal Cooling Rate between 10 pm and 4 amMore information

Both the UTCI and PET are based on a human heat balance model, incorporating key factors like solar radiation, air temperature, and humidity. Both indices link absolute values to levels of physiological stress. PET places more emphasis on the direct effects of temperature and humidity on human comfort. 04.10.5 Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) (2 pm)More information

Both the UTCI and PET are based on a human heat balance model, incorporating key factors like solar radiation, air temperature, and humidity. Both indices link absolute values to levels of physiological stress. The UTCI was developed to provide insights under different climatic conditions. 04.10.9 Evaluation Index Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) (2 pm)More information

The Climate Analysis Map presents the current state of the urban climate. It illustrates the extent of urban overheating, the compensatory effects of cold-air-generating green and open spaces, and the spatial relationships between compensation areas and impact areas. 04.10.7 Climate Analysis MapMore information
