The role of catchment properties on the importance of initial hydrologic conditions for seasonal hydrological forecasting in alpine areas
(Corresponding) Stergiadi M., Avesani D., Righetti M., Borga M., Zaramella M.
Topic:
Operational and impact-based forecasting, and data assimilation
A well-known approach to seasonal hydrological forecasting involves the use of ensembles as forcing to a hydrological model, based either on historical meteorological data (Ensemble Streamflow Prediction, ESP) or on forecasts produced by one or more dynamic climate models (multi-model approach)...Read more
Testing and validation of ENVI-met simulations based on in-situ micrometeorological measurements: the case of Syntagma square, Athens, Greece
Koletsis I., Tseliou A., Lykoudis S., (Corresponding) Pantavou K., Tsiros I.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
The present paper focuses on the development of a methodology that simulates micrometeorological thermal conditions in an urban context based on weather station data. The micrometeorological conditions at Syntagma square, the central square of Athens, Greece were simulated by ENVI-met software in...Read more

The integration of three field survey datasets in Athens, Greece: transformation of five-point to seven-point thermal sensation scale
(Corresponding) Pantavou K., Lykoudis S., Delibasis K., Tseliou A., Koletsis I., Nikolopoulou M., Tsiros I.
Topic:
Enviornmental data analysis and modelling
The integration of the datasets from three different field surveys on thermal sensation conducted at eight different sites of the area of Athens, Greece was examined. All three surveys were carried out with similar methodologies so data integration can be considered meaningful. The surveys included...Read more

Assessment of thermal indices applicability in Cyprus
Pantavou K., Giallouros G., Lykoudis S., (Corresponding) Nikolopoulos G.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Thermal indices are commonly used to assess outdoor thermal environments. This study aims to examine the applicability of popular thermal indices for the assessment of thermal sensation in Cyprus. Field surveys were conducted in outdoor public sites in five districts of the Republic of Cyprus. The...Read more

Pedestrian preferences of urban design features in city squares of Athens, Greece
(Corresponding) Pantavou K., Koletsis I., Lykoudis S., Tsiros I.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Public open spaces improve the quality of life in cities and form places for community gatherings and outdoor activities. This study examines the preference of pedestrians for the design features of urban squares. Field surveys on the perception of environmental stimuli were conducted in five...Read more

Validation of ENVI-met microscale model with in-situ measurements in warm thermal conditions across Athens area
Koletsis I., Tseliou A., Lykoudis S., Tsiros I., Lagouvardos K., Psiloglou B., Founda D., (Corresponding) Pantavou K.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
Validation is critical for quantifying accuracy, errors and limitations of models’ results. This study examines the ability of ENVI-met model to simulate thermal conditions in high spatial resolution. Field measurements from 11 central sites (squares and parks) across the greater area of Athens,...Read more

A model-based study on the impact of different tree configurations on the thermal conditions of an urban square
Tseliou A., Koletsis I., Thoma E., Proutsos N., Lykoudis S., (Corresponding) Pantavou K., Tsiros I.
Topic:
Environmental data analysis and modelling
The number of studies on mitigation and adaptation strategies aiming at the improvement of the urban microclimate increased remarkably during the last decades. Most studies are focusing on the impact of various design layouts, on thermal environment and pedestrians’ thermal sensation. The present...Read more
