Fig. 6.5 Modelling influence of the radiative trapping and the heat conduction in the walls for
the canopy sensible heat flux: Sim0 is the reference simulation (see Figs. 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4); in
Sim1 the effective albedo and emissivity are replaced by the pavement counterparts; in Sim2 the
wall/pavement two layers are replaced by one average layer; in Sim3 the walls are not accounted
for in street heat transfer and storage

Jan 1995, comparison of measurements ( dots ) with SM2U and UHE simulation ( solid and dashed
lines , respectively - the SM2U ∗ symbol indicates that simulations were driven with an additional
forcing rendering the water infiltration from the soil into the drainage network pipes). ( b )viewof
