Winter climate–energy trade-offs of rooftop photovoltaics under green, cool, and super cool roofs in cities

Ansar Khan, Samiran Khorat, Rupali Khatun, Konstantina Vasilakopoulou et autres

Urban rooftop photovoltaic systems are increasingly integrated with green, cool and super cool roofs to simultaneously support renewable energy generation, building energy efficiency and climate adaptation. However, whether these objectives remain aligned during winter is poorly understood. Here we show that winter …

Evaluation of the ALARO1-SFX (CY43T2) regional climate model over Belgium across different resolutions

Wout Dewettinck, Hans Van de Vyver, Daan Degrauwe, Rafiq Hamdi et autres

Regional climate modelling is essential for providing reliable information to understand localised impacts and guide adaptation strategies in the context of climate change. This study evaluates long-term continuous climate simulations over Belgium performed with the ALARO1-SFX model, a novel version of ALARO-1 …

[SOFTWARE] Evaluation of the ALARO1-SFX (CY43T2) regional climate model over Belgium across different resolutions

Wout Dewettinck, Hans Van de Vyver, Daan Degrauwe, Rafiq Hamdi et autres

This software accompanies the publication "Evaluation of the ALARO1-SFX regional climate model over Belgium across different resolutions". The input data for this software are derived from simulations with the ALARO1-SFX model, performed for the period 1992–2022 at three horizontal resolutions: 25 km, …

Inequality in human exposure to future climate extremes

Parisa Hosseinzadehtalaei, Rafiq Hamdi, Hamid Moradkhani, Piet Termonia et autres

Future climate extremes are expected to worsen existing inequalities in human exposure, yet the specific disparities across income groups are not well understood. We investigate how future floods, heatwaves, droughts, and compound hot-dry events will impact high- and low-income countries under various …

Warming temperature reduces the risk of pre-harvest freezing injury and modifies variety suitability in the main winegrape-growing regions of China

Huiqing Bai, Jianqiang He, Rafiq Hamdi, Erna Hailey Blancquaert et autres

Abstract Rising temperatures cause advanced phenology of grapevines and increased sugar concentration in berries, which ultimately modify variety suitability in a given region. Here, four bioclimatic indices and a refined grapevine sugar ripeness (GSR) model were employed to assess the suitability of …

Sensitivity of adaptation strategies in diverse European cities

Sara M. Top, Aude Lemonsu, Valéry Masson, Steven Caluwaerts et autres

There is a need to assess the effect of urban adaptation measures on city scale and micro-scale phenomena, such as the urban heat island (UHI) effect and thermal comfort, to make cities climate resilient. The impact of vegetation on the urban climate …

Modelling and observations of green and blue adaptation measures

Siebe Puynen, Steven Caluwaerts, Sara M. Top, Patrick Bernard Verdonck et autres

Since more extreme heat events occur and will occur under climate change, it is important to adapt urban environments in such a way that the population is safeguarded from extreme heat stress as much as possible. It is however unclear how green, …

Constructing monthly precipitation and temperature fields over Belgium since 1900 including effects of land use changes

Diana Tzvetkov, Pieter De Frenne, Romain Ingels, Michel Journée et autres

In the past century, global climate change and intense land-use modifications – such as the conversion of forests to agriculture or built-up areas – have jointly shaped local climate conditions in many countries across the globe. Reconstructing climate at kilometric scales requires …

How a city resolving European climate dataset over the past decade enables future urban climate projections

Leon Adriaensen, Wout Dewettinck, Kobe Vandelanotte, Kwinten Van Weverberg et autres

Mesoscale models serve as a critical bridge between urban microclimate dynamics and larger atmospheric processes simulated by earth system models, enabling a deeper understanding of weather and climate phenomena in cities. Long-term regional projections with high spatiotemporal resolution are currently lacking which …
