## Abstract Urban planning is a useful method for improving local climate and human health in cities through purposefully modifying urban land surface characteristics. This can reduce the potential risks of elevated city temperatures due to the urban heat island (UHI). Unfortunately, simple tools a
Pyrheliometric measurements of direct solar radiation performed at Athens Observatory (NOA) from 1954 to 1992, were used to test the applicability of several models which compute the Linke's turbidity factor, T L . The models used in this analysis belong to two categories: the direct, or the so-call
