UMEP（城市多尺度环境预报器）是一个基于城市的气候服务工具，结合了气候模拟所必需的模型和工具。应用程序来说明UMEP的潜力，在识别热浪和寒潮;径流的影响，绿色基础设施;建筑物对人类的热应力的影响;太阳能生产;和人类活动对热排放的影响。UMEP在室外热舒适性、风、城市能源消耗和减缓气候变化方面具有广泛的应用。它包括使用户能够输入来自多个来源的大气和地表数据的工具，以模拟城市环境，准备用于城市的气象数据，进行模拟和考虑情景，并比较和可视化气候指标的不同组合。UMEP是一个开放源代码工具，其设计目的是随着新数据和工具的开发而易于更新，并可供研究人员、决策者和从业人员使用。(C)2017作者爱思唯尔有限公司出版
UMEP (Urban Multi-scale Environmental Predictor), a city-based climate service tool, combines models and tools essential for climate simulations. Applications are presented to illustrate UMEP's potential in the identification of heat waves and cold waves; the impact of green infrastructure on runoff; the effects of buildings on human thermal stress; solar energy production; and the impact of human activities on heat emissions. UMEP has broad utility for applications related to outdoor thermal comfort, wind, urban energy consumption and climate change mitigation. It includes tools to enable users to input atmospheric and surface data from multiple sources, to characterise the urban environment, to prepare meteorological data for use in cities, to undertake simulations and consider scenarios, and to compare and visualise different combinations of climate indicators. An open-source tool, UMEP is designed to be easily updated as new data and tools are developed, and to be accessible to researchers, decision-makers and practitioners. (C) 2017 The Authors.
