Abstract

This study demonstrates the applicability of the PALM(Parallelized Large Eddy Simulation Model) model in simulating urban thermal comfort in Suzhou, subtropical monsoon climate city, during hot periods. Using an observation-corrected downscaling method for meteorological forcing, validated simulations yield reliable 2 m air temperature with RMSE
