Sensitivity study of the urban heat island intensity to urban characteristics

A detailed urban surface exchange parameterization, implemented in a meso‐scale atmospheric model, has been used to study the urban heat island (UHI) intensity during a summer period in the city of Basel, Switzerland. In this urban parameterization, the city is represented as a combination of three...
