Fig. 20.1 The seasonal distribution of UHI effect for individual urban parameterizations in Prague
during 2001–2010
show that simplistic treatment of the urban environment is not adequate in any season, with clear effect of the process based urban parameterizations decreasing the
values of surface wind by the urban infrastructures and increasing the mixing height.
This is clearly revealing the significance of use the proper parameterization of urban
processes, especially in connection to air quality applications.
