Effect of heat islands over urban madras and measures for its mitigation
Abstract In India the study of urban climate and its influences on urban planning and building climatology is a newly emerging area for detailed studies. This vast inter-disciplinary study encompasses such disciplines as meteorology, urban planning, architecture, building physics, landscape, land-use studies using remote-sensing, etc. This paper will discuss a heat island case study over urban Madras and its neighbourhood based on surface temperature, humidity and wind data collected from 77 points using mobile observations. Besides these measurements, additional information about the three-dimensional structure of the temperature distribution from special radiosonde-radiowind ascents was also taken in two observatories representing suburban and urban areas of the metropolis. The paper will also broadly discuss the mitigation measures and the future line of action of research in the area of urban climate and building climatology in India.
