Fig. 7: Vertical profiles at the centroid of the model at 14 h for LCZ ② when adding a large patch of greenery.
From: Impact of soil moisture content on urban tree evaporative cooling and human thermal comfort
For both average and extreme summer day scenarios, we show the vertical profiles of wind speed (a, b), air temperature (c, d), specific humidity (e, f) and mean radiant temperature (g, h). Curves indicate different soil moisture content scenarios: dry soil at permanent wilting point (\({{\rm{\theta }}}_{{\rm{Dry}}}\)); soil that reached maximum \({{\rm{E}}}_{{\rm{T}}}\) (\({{\rm{\theta }}}_{{\rm{ET}}\max }\)); irrigated soil at field capacity (\({{\rm{\theta }}}_{{\rm{Irr}}}\)), reaching maximum \({{\rm{E}}}_{{\rm{S}}}\).
