20.500.12556/RUL-164556 Assessment of winter urban heat island in Ljubljana, Slovenia Although the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon is more commonly studied in summer, its influence is also important in winter. In this study, the authors focused on the winter UHI in Ljubljana (Slovenia) and its impact on the urban population, as well as in comparison with a UHI study from 2000. Through a combination of mobile and stationary temperature measurements in different parts of the city, the winter intensity of the UHI in Ljubljana was studied in a dense spatial network of measurements. It was found that the intensity of the winter UHI in Ljubljana decreases as winters become warmer and less snowy. The results showed that the winter UHI in Ljubljana intensifies during the night and reaches the greatest intensity at sunrise. During the winter radiation type of weather, the warmest part of Ljubljana reaches an intensity of 3.5 °C in the evening. In total, 22% of the urban area is in the evening UHI intensity range of 2–4 °C, and 65% of the urban population lives in this range. In the morning, the UHI in Ljubljana has a maximum intensity of 5 °C. The area of >4 °C UHI intensity covers 7% of the urban area, and 28% of the total urban population lives in this area. Higher temperatures in urban centers in winter lead to a longer growing season, fewer snow cover days, lower energy consumption and cold stress, and lower mortality from cold-related diseases compared to the colder periphery. climatogeography climate change local climate urban climate urban heat island Slovenia Ljubljana klimatogeografija podnebne spremembe lokalno podnebje mestna klima mestni toplotni otok Slovenija Ljubljana true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2024-10-30 13:17:48 2024-10-30 13:17:54 2024-11-22 14:54:49 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 222-238 issue 2 Vol. 2 2023 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-01-01 551.584.5(497.4Ljubljana) 2674-0494 10.3390/meteorology2020014 152001795 https://www.mdpi.com/2674-0494/2/2/14 1 ac313a8b-96b8-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195072 meteorology-02-00014.pdf meteorology-02-00014.pdf 1 32904CF7671CAD66A7CEB85D42084453 ef03ec448ff5d54a218edbec3fa4f1dd650bf7cdf8af7e66b6e9e245152ad351 14d82962-96b9-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195073 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
