More papers pertaining to urban climate, published in the Section “Biometeorology and Bioclimatology”, can be found via https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/sections/biometeorology. This Section of Atmosphere addresses the interactions between atmospheric conditions and living organisms (humans, vegetation, and animals) in an interdisciplinary manner, investigating the adverse effects resulting from activities and climate change and seeking ways to respond to and mitigate them. It seeks to assess how atmospheric conditions can impact living organisms, covering aspects from daily life to implications of global, regional, and local climate change, particularly in terms of climate adaptation.
