Detailed report on local meteorological conditions Deliverable 6.4 iSCAPE project

This report documents findings from Task 6.4.1 “Simulation of Climate Change in test case EU Cities”. The report includes climate projections for all iSCAPE target cities: Bologna, Bottrop, Dublin, Guilford, Hasselt and Vantaa. The magnitudes of climatic changes in the six cities by the year 2050 were derived from a large number of climate model simulations. An atmosphere-surface interaction module was then used to study climatic impacts of a “Passive Control System” (PCS) intervention in one of the cities, Vantaa, in the current climate and in a projected future climate. The intervention consisted of increasing the fraction of green spaces and relatively sparsely built suburban-type land use at the expense of more densely built commercial and industrial areas.
