Accumulation of Solar Radiation Depending on Type of Surface in the Urban Environment of the City Nitra

Abstract

Abstract The diversity of active surfaces in urban environment is an alarming element of microclimatic conditions at the time of positive energy balance. The accumulation of solar and reflected radiation are forming local climate - microclimate. Vegetation areas in the urban environment have the capability to eliminate extreme demostrations of local climate. The impact of transpiration causes an increase in the relative air humidity, reducing the effect of solar radiation. The result is the elimination of surface temperature in vegetation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potentiality of accumulation of solar radiation depending on the vegetation structure and the type of surface in research areas A1-B1-C1, A2-B2-C2 between intervals 6:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., 12:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. The legwork ran in summer period June-August 2013 in residential area Chrenova 1 in the city Nitra.
