## 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

## Abstract Two designs of experiments made of nine accelerated tests each were used in order to study the influence of a selection of important climatic parameters such as the concentration of NaCl, the drying level, the basic humidity cycle, the frequency of salt spray and the temperature. The ac
The terrestrial component of climate models requires computationally efficient algorithms for determining the multiscattered radiation contributing to its heating from solar radiation. Much of the vegetated land cover has strong 3D controls on its radiation. The scattering from a 3D object of isotro
