Using ENVI-met to simulate the impact of global warmingon the microclimate in Central European cities

摘要

Within the BMBF joint research project KLIMES, the micro scale climate model ENVI-met isused by the subproject KLIMES JGU to simulate the effects of global warming on heat stress incentral European cities and to evaluate possible countermeasures proposed by urban planners. Inthis study two simulations run with a model that contains structures which can be found in mostcentral European cities. The first simulation runs with boundary conditions that are typical forcentral European summer days, the second simulation with boundary conditions that can beexpected at the end of an extreme, longer lasting summer heat wave like 2003. The simulationsare compared and the results are discussed.
