A comparison of physics-based model computed and GNSS observed vertical land displacement of Greenland

By combining the RACMO2.3 RCM output with GRACE non-tidal ocean and atmospheric pressure anomaly as well as geo-center motion corrections from 2003 to 2017, a physics-based model to estimate the vertical displacement of the Greenland surface bedrock is created. This model is able to convert the mass and pressure anomalies into vertical...

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...
