1 Observation of urban climate variability at local scale and comparison with human perception Noémie Gaudio 1, Sabrina Marchandise 2, Julien Le Bras 1, Aude Lemonsu 1, Sinda Haouès-Jouve 2, Dominique Legain 1, Julia Hidalgo 2, Benoit Tudoux 2 1 Météo-France / CNRS, Toulouse, France 2 Université Toulouse 2 Le Mirail / CNRS, Toulouse, France Toulouse France
2 Context and motivations Urban heat island at city scale Microclimate variability at neighbourhood scale 25 km Source: EPICEA Project Source: APUR 500 m Toulouse France 2
3 Context and motivations Urban heat island at city scale Microclimate variability at neighbourhood scale 25 km Source: EPICEA Project Source: APUR 500 m Interest for urban planning! Toulouse France 3
4 Context and motivations Urban microclimate at the neighbourhood scale Take into account human perception Physical approach: Experimental quantification of the spatial variability of urban microclimate at neighbourhood scale Sensitive approach: Consult people feeling about climatic comfort Toulouse France 4
