Abstract
Urbanization and its micrometeorology impact on the thermal environment and air quality is an important area of research for sustainable urban air quality management. The present study attempted to analyze the diverse land-use patterns influence on micrometeorology and air quality using the Envi-Met microclimatic model. Simulations were conducted to identify the seasonality of the spatial and temporal variation of micrometeorology and air quality. Based on the exploration of three study locations of different land use patterns, impact on temperature intensity, thermal comfort, mixing layer height, and ozone concentration profile was analyzed. The model results of thermal comfort parameters were correlated with the monitoring results. It was concluded that the combined effect of land use pattern and meteorology on UHI intensity is significant. The results indicated that the built-up area has an effected microclimatic condition with an increase in thermal discomfort. An ozone (O3) prediction result reveals the micrometeorology influences on dispersion and mixing layer height. These study results are useful for future and policy development on urban heat islands and air quality management.
