Local wind, such as sea breezes, play a crucial role in cooling coastal cities. This study presents new insights about the thermo-hygrometric influence of the Tagus and Atlantic Ocean breezes (sea and estuarine breezes [SEBs]) in Lisbon’s urban climate (Portugal). SEB events were identified in the summer of 2022 according to a wind rotation criteri...
To measure urban outdoor pedestrian thermophysiological comfort mobile roving missions were conducted in all seasons of the year during the day and at night. Six routes were chosen, representing areas of the city with varying urban morphological layouts. The thermal comfort conditions were analysed using the Local Climate Zone spatial scale. This e...
Extreme heat is a current and future issue on urban areas, with negative impacts on health and quality of life (increasing morbidity and mortality rates). This paper analyses day (12:00–15:00 h) and nighttime (00:00–03:00 h) thermo-physiological comfort (TC) conditions by Local Climate Zones (LCZ) in Lisbon during a particular Local Weather Type (L...
Here we provide Urban Heat Island (UHI) by local weather types (LWT) maps for the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (LMA). These maps were produced from the Copernicus Land Mon- itoring Service climate variables dataset that contains hourly air temperature raster data for 100 European cities (2008- 2017), namely Lisbon and part of its metropolitan area. Ove...
In this study UHI in Lisbon's Metropolitan Area (LMA) is analyzed through Local Weather Types (LWT) using an air temperature dataset produced by Copernicus. Over 61,000 hourly air temperature maps between 2008 and 2014 are extracted, divided into thermal seasons and LWT, and UHI is calculated by the anomaly between each raster cell and a pixel from...

Simulações microclimáticas de duas áreas críticas (Baixa e Alta de Lisboa): situação atual e projeções para o futuro com modificações no edificado.
Urbanized hot spots incorporate a great diversity of microclimates dependent, among other factors, on local meteorological conditions. Until today, detailed analysis of the combination of climatic variables at local scale are very scarce in urban areas. Thus, there is an urgent need to produce a Local Weather Type (LWT) classification that allows t...
The increase and optimization of urban vegetation has been considered an effective mitigation measure of an urban heat island (UHI), with positive effects on human thermal comfort. In this study, the cooling potential of all green spaces in Lisbon was estimated. For that, several mobile measurements of air temperature data were made in a single par...
Considering climate change and the rapid trend towards urbanization, the analysis of urban microclimates is gaining importance. Using a FLIR thermal camera, the temperatures of the facades of the buildings where identified and characterized. The technique that was used - infrared thermography, is emerging and increasingly used in fields such as con...
