Comparison of Urban Heat Island Intensity Estimation Methods Using Urbanized WRF in Berlin, Germany

In this study, we present a meso-scale simulation of the urban microclimate in Berlin, Germany, using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) numerical weather prediction platform. The objective of the study is to derive an accurate estimate of the near-surface urban heat island (UHI) intensity....
