2. A microclimate is a local zone where the
climate differ from the surrounding area.
Physical state of the atmosphere close to a very
small area of the earth's surface
Urban microclimates are discrete regions in the
urban canopy layer (UCL) where radiative
and weather variable hold to a consistent pattern
3. Lad Use / Land Cover
Air Pollution
Water bodies
Building structure and density
Albedo
4. There has been widespread interest in studying
microclimate at a local level such as urban areas in the
recent times
These studies are few in number possibly because of
urban climate complexity and non availability of
required data base and difficulty in procuring it
There are number studies available related to urban
temperature which are related to urban heat island
studies but studies related to urban precipitation and
other causative factors related to urban microclimates
are very few. These studies are mostly undertaken by
scholars in the west specially from Europe and USA
5. In India the studies on urban climate change are most recent in
nature which are mostly based on secondary data
Remote sensing has revolutionized the study on microclimate with
specific focus on Land Surface Temperature(LST) which is taken as
a input in the identification of Urban Heat Island (UHI)
With avavilabity of Thermal band satellite images such type studies
were attempted in last decade
The recent studies on urban microclimates has become more precise,
indepth and focused due to supplementary use of Geographical
Information System and GPS along with Remote sensing. There is a
methodolgical shift in nature of studies related to urban
microclimates.
Keeping in view these consideration in view , an attempt is made
here to study the indepth analysis of urban microclimates of
Greater Hyderabad with following objectives :
