Abstract
It is interesting to study the impact of urbanization on climate in the Taihu Lake Basin. This study employed the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to simulate the Taihu Lake Basin's urbanization effect on climate. The results show that as the area of urbanization increases, the downwind precipitation in the study area increases significantly. In addition, the urbanization of the land surface has a strong impact on the surface energy balance, which can not only strengthen the transportation of the sensible heat flux from the surface to the atmosphere but even affect the transportation of water vapor, resulting in a decrease in specific humidity at 2 m from the ground surface. The simulation results have important theoretical significance in understanding the impact of urbanization on regional climate.
