In order to investigate the effects of land-use and anthropogenically produced heat on the surface air temperature in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, numerical experiments were carried out under typical summer synoptic conditions. The model is based on the three-dimensional Boussinesq equations, taking

A formula has been employed whereby variations in the time and duration of solar beams on the wall of a building can be easily determined from a knowledge of the building's shape and arrangement and the sun's declination. On condition that a certain standard of sunshine level is reached, quantatitiv
## Abstract Recently, countermeasures against the urban heat island effect have become increasingly important in Tokyo. Such countermeasures include reduction of anthropogenic heat release and enhancement of urban ventilation. Evaluations of urban ventilation require construction of a highβresoluti
## Abstract The trends and variations in air temperature from 1987 to 2004 correlated with land use patterns in urban areas of Japan were studied in terms of urban heat islands. The air temperatures seemed to show an increasing trend; however, the differences were statistically insignificant due to
