Diurnal variation in an amplified canopy urban heat island during heat wave periods in the megacity of Beijing: roles of mountain–valley breeze and urban morphology
2024
Overview
Against the background of global warming and rapid urbanization, heat waves (HWs) have become increasingly prevalent, amplifying canopy urban heat island intensity (CUHII). The megacity of Beijing, characterized by rapid urbanization, frequent high-temperature events, and exceptionally complex terrain, presents a unique case to study the synergies between HWs and canopy urban heat islands (CUHIs). However, research exploring the formation mechanisms of the amplified CUHII (ΔCUHII) during HW periods in the megacity of Beijing from the perspectives of mountain–valley breeze and urban morphology remains scarce. This study found that compared to non-heat-wave (NHW) periods, the average daily CUHII during HW periods significantly increased by 59.33 %. On the urban scale, the wind direction reversal of the mountain–valley breeze might contribute to the north–south asymmetry in the ΔCUHII. On the street scale, wind speed was inversely proportional to the ΔCUHII. In addition, the ΔCUHII was closely related to urban morphology, particularly the three-dimensional indicators of buildings. During the mountain breeze phase, high-rise buildings with lower sky view factors (SVFs) had a more pronounced effect on amplifying CUHII compared to low-rise buildings with higher SVFs. Conversely, during the valley breeze phase, high-rise buildings exerted a dual influence on amplifying CUHII. Our findings provide scientific insights into the driving mechanisms of urban overheating and contribute to mitigating the escalating risks associated with urban excess warming.
