Modelling pavement evaporative cooling to mitigate heat wave

As the intensity and frequency of urban heat wave increases in Europe, evaporative cooling from watering pavements has been considered as a promising strategy to regulate urban temperature. The aim of this research is to include evaporative cooling modelling and enhance the surface temperature model SURF-TEMP, which is in development at the...
