The combined effects of global warming and the urban heat islands exacerbate the risk of urban heat stress.It is crucial to implement effective cooling measures in urban areas to improve the comfort of the thermal environment.In this study,the Weather Research and Forecasting Model(WRF),coupled with a single-layer Urban Canopy Model(UCM),was used to study the impact of heat mitigation strategies.In addition,a 5-km resolution land-cover dataset for China(ChinaLC),which is based on satellite remote sensing data,was adjusted and used,and 18 groups of nu-merical experiments were designed,to increase the albedo and vegetation fraction of roof/ground parameters.The ex-periments were conducted for four heatwave events that occurred in the summer of 2013 in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration of China.The simulated results demonstrated that,for the single roof/ground schemes,the mit-igation effects were directly proportional to the albedo and greening.Among all the experimental schemes,the super-posed schemes presented better cooling effects.For the ground greening scheme,with similar net radiation flux and latent heat flux,its storage heat was lower than that of the roof greening scheme,resulting in more energy flux into the atmosphere,and its daytime cooling effect was not as good as that of the roof greening scheme.In terms of hu-man thermal comfort(HTC),the improvement achieved by the ground greening scheme was better than any other single roof/ground schemes,because the increase in the relative humidity was small.The comprehensive evaluation of the mitigation effects of different schemes on the thermal environment presented in this paper provides a theoreti-cal basis for improving the urban environment through rational urban planning and construction.
