URBAN CLIMATE STUDY OF BUCHAREST, ROMANIA

 
   

   


   

Home  
  • To investigate how the Romanian Revolution in 1989 has changed the environmental situation and the urban climate in Bucharest over the last 30 – 40 years by means of satellite data analysis
  • To study the on-going meteorological processes by direct measurements of radiation and heat fluxes at 3 – 4 micrometeorological flux towers within the city area covering different types of land cover. This type of data like heat and CO2 fluxes has partly never been measured in Bucharest.
  • A method widely used in many western countries like Switzerland, Germany or in East Asia (Japan, Hong Kong) how to convert the results of complex meteorological measurements and data into information required and used by local and regional planning authorities. This has never been carried out in Romania and the technique will be implemented at the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest.
  • Using numerical urban climate models like ENVI-met potential urban planning scenarios will be simulated to improve urban climate, human comfort, air pollution and health.
