Abstract: |
Urban areas play a fundamental role in local- to large-scale planetary processes by altering
heat, moisture, and chemical budgets. As urbanization continues globally, it is vital to acknowledge
the consequence of converting natural landscapes into the built-up environment. Cities around the
world are experiencing elevated temperatures and extreme heat events due to the combined effects
of global warming and urbanization. Recognizing cities as primary responders to global change,
considerable efforts are currently dedicated worldwide to monitor and understand urban atmospheric
dynamics. Additionally, various adaptation and mitigation strategies aimed to offset the impacts of
rapid urban sprawl and urban overheating are being developed, implemented, and evaluated.
Urban surfaces can inf luence the near-surface urban climate through three primary
mechanisms, i.e., radiative exchange, sensible heat exchange between urban surface and ambient
air, and latent heat exchange via evaporation and transpiration. It is documented that urban surfaces
could drive up to 25% of variation in air temperature. Urban water bodies, hailed as a nature-based
solution, have emerged as an important potential strategy in tempering urban climates and enhancing
thermal environments to design sustainable thermally-safe cities. The cooling benefits of water
bodies have been widely investigated concerning their influence on surface and air temperatures.
However, a better metric of thermal behavior of water bodies requires the consideration of the overall
energy balance, including radiative energy exchange, convective heat transfer, evaporation, and heat
storage and release. Analyzing the characteristics of energy partitioning of urban water bodies is
the key to understanding and capturing the impacts of water bodies on urban thermal environment.
However, due to the lack of systematic quantitative methods and adequate data support, the energy
allocation of water bodies, i.e., the physical process of energy exchange between water bodies and
the surrounding environment, has not been investigated and elaborated thoroughly.
Based on the energy balance theory, this study has further developed the energy balance
observation methodology by integrating the Bowen ratio and energy balance equation. In comparison
to the methods such as the Bulk coefficient and Eddy correlation methods, the Bowen ratio method
offers a distinctive advantage in quantifying the energy components of water bodies, based on
routine meteorological observations, considering both daytime and nighttime, as well as the calm
wind conditions. In hot and humid regions of China, there is a dense network of rivers, streams,
and canals, and water systems are well developed, closely intertwined with human settlements. Simultaneously, hot-humid regions are characterized with consistently high temperatures and high humidity throughout the year. With the exacerbation
of global climate change, the urban heat environment issues in these regions are more severe than in other areas. Therefore, utilizing water bodies to
improve the urban thermal environment is of significant importance for the construction of climate-resilience cities in hot-humid regions. Additionally,
according to literature review, the thermal effects of water bodies vary by location. The response of water bodies in hot and humid areas to climate change
differs from other regions. Further analysis of its physical characteristics can be conducted from the perspective of energy partitioning. Given the context
above, the energy partitioning patterns of an urban lake located in the densely built-up areas of hot-humid regions, were obtained through continuous field
measurements in summer and winter based on the Bowen ratio energy balance method, taking the Liwan Lake in Guangzhou as a case study.
Results of this study demonstrated a multifaceted role played by the net radiation heat flux Q*
in the energy balance of urban lakes. It was observed that
the shortwave radiation functioned as the primary energy inputs during daylight hours, whereas longwave radiative cooling emerged as a significant heat
release during nocturnal periods. Weather conditions exhibited varying impacts on distinct energy components of the lake, with net radiation heat flux Q*
and
latent heat flux QE being greater on clear and cloudless ‘ideal’ days than on rainy and other days such as cloudy and overcast days. Conversely, sensible heat
flux QH displayed negligible variations across the three weather conditions. The seasonal dynamics emerged as a critical determinant governing the energy
allocation of the lake. In hot-humid summer, the heat storage flux Qs accounted for the highest percentage, indicating that a majority of the net radiation
was directed towards heat storage. Conversely, during cold-arid winter, a significant portion of QE was observed, signifying that a substantial fraction of the
energy inputs was converted into latent heat. These distinct seasonal trends underscored the adaptive nature of urban water bodies in redistributing energy
based on prevailing climatic conditions. Findings of this study can provide a methodological reference for assessing the energy partitioning of static urban
water bodies, provide data support of hot-humid regions for understanding the climate regulation effects of water bodies, and promote the construction of
climate-resilience cities based on blue infrastructure. |
