✦ Synopsis

In this work we simulate, by a Monte Carlo method, the balance of longwave radiation within different urban structures. The experiment consists in simulating the foton traces, and then to evaluate the percentage of lost longwave radiation. Also we calculate the decrease in temperature for each grid comparing different structures. As a result we obtain the relation between urban structure and the climatic modification in urban areas, focusing our attention on the Urban Heat Island phenomenon.

A brief overview is given of the role in radiation dosimetry of electron transport simulations using the Monte Carlo technique. Two areas are discussed in some detail. The first is the calculation of stopping-power ratios for use in ion chamber dosimetry. The uncertainty in stopping-power ratios is
