• Micrometeorological simulations to predict the impacts of heat mitigation strategies on pedestrian thermal comfort in a Los Angeles neighborhood (2016, background): “The influence of reflective materials on air temperature has been investigated in past work [19, 23-28, 35, 48-51], but to our knowledge only one study has investigated the impacts of cool surfaces on pedestrian thermal comfort [23]; they investigate”
• Radiative forcing and temperature response to changes in urban albedos and associated CO2 offsets (2010, background): “In a recent study, Synnefa et al (2008) examined temperature changes from urban albedo changes over Athens, Greece.”
• The effectiveness of cool and green roofs as urban heat island mitigation strategies (2014, background): “A few studies used regional climate models to investigate large-scale effects of surface modifications in urban areas (see e.g., Synnefa et al 2008, Taha et al 1999, Millstein and Menon 2011).”
