文摘

Urbanization level has significant effect on magnitudes and extremities of urban meteorology variations. Observed decrease in diurnal temperature range depends on urbanization level. Increase in urbanization level intensified magnitudes of UHII, thermal discomfort indices and maximum PBLH. Spatial scale of urbanization effect on urban environment depends greatly on urbanization level. Average UHI and human thermal comfort indices depend significantly on urbanization size.
