The recuperation factors (negative air ion concentration, airborne particulate matter, human comfort index, and acoustic environment index) of coastal green spaces have significant health effects. Most current studies focus on the distribution pattern single in forest environment; however, comprehensive effects are still unknown. To address this, we analyzed patterns different landscape configurations, compositions, distances by principal component analysis systematic clustering. results show that: (1) coniferous broadleaf mixed forests exhibit higher integrated benefits than other compositions; (2) closed partially configurations enhanced potential for promoting as opposed to open spaces; (3) a distance 150–300 m offers strongest benefits. These findings collectively suggest that increased cultivation species at could effectively provide Our study complements ecosystem service areas, especially ecological services, providing support rehabilitation planning; can help guide tourists scheduling activities scientifically.

Ribbon waterfront parks in hot summer and cold winter regions play a crucial role microclimate regulation thermal comfort enhancement due to the combined effects of water bodies vegetation. This study focuses on ribbon Hefei. investigates influence park environmental factors (e.g., plant community characteristics, spatial configuration bodies, plaza layouts) environment through field measurements ENVI-met numerical simulations. Based studies literature review, five were selected as test variables: body direction (S), tree planting density arrangement (A), square distribution form (B), location (C), pavement material (D). Using orthogonal testing, 64 different scenarios under four distinct orientations designed simulated using (Version 5.6.1), followed by quantitative analysis simulation results. The findings reveal that interaction between orientation prevailing wind significantly influences cooling efficiency both upwind downwind regions. In addition, Range Analysis (RA), variance (ANOVA), order magnitude effect each experimental factor Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) can be derived: (A) > (D) (C) forms squares (B). Finally, this suggests various factor-setting schemes for are tailored microclimatic requirements. It also provides design recommendations improve based bodies. Furthermore, it offers specific references foundations planning, designing, optimising, renovating similar scales.

With more than half of the world already living in urban spaces—a number set to increase coming decades—the need is clear understand microclimates and extremes. This study placed twenty MX2302a HOBOmobile weather microsensors aerated housings across ~4 km2 campus University South Alabama from September November 2022 recorded temperature, relative humidity, dewpoint every minute during period. These sensors were situ, which allowed for diversity land cover, canopy aspect—large microclimatic drivers—to be captured. Sensors compared a mesonet station, part Mesonet, member National Mesonet Program. During period, temperatures found vary as much 13 °C at same campus, with substantial changes humidities dewpoints also found. For example, may have read 32 °C, yet could low 29 high 42 moment. shows that far complex what seen mesoscale under idealized conditions, implications society are considered.

Abstract Impacted by both the large‐scale climate change and local hydrometeorological atmosphere, spatiotemporal structure properties of short‐duration extreme rainfall events in urban areas remain a complex issue. This study explores pattern variability rainstorm using an exceptional sub‐hourly gauge network Shanghai, China. A catalog 207 “independent” rainstorms is extracted. The hierarchical clustering method used to examine spatial temporal features including duration, intensity, coverage for each district with different degrees urbanization 2014–2018 period. results point pronounced heterogeneity heavier magnitude north. In core area, intensive hit more frequently than other districts. Rainstorms can be divided into three types from process: Type delayed‐slow, advanced‐fast, advanced‐slow. delayed‐peak higher slope occurs west advanced‐peak along coastal line. type storm reverse trend intensity concentrates June–August year 16:00–20:00 day. While 65.6% storms only occur one district, half appear without at same time. These findings show importance observation‐based analysis understanding provide reference design sub‐regions areas.
