Cities alter the climate system both within their boundaries and nearby through interactions with dark, built-up, and impervious land surfaces, energy generation, and dense networks of roads and automobiles. These processes that occur on urban scales are interacting with larger-scale climate change processes to exacerbate extreme events that impact city and metropolitan region dwellers. This Element assesses the latest research on urban heat and precipitation islands, compound extreme events, and indicators and monitoring, including the use of ground based observations, remote sensing, and citizen science in urban settings. It provides temperature and humid heat index, precipitation, and sea level rise observations and projections for the cities engaged in ARC3.3. The Element emphasizes the importance of co-generating urban climate risk information to form the best-available foundation for climate adaptation and mitigation actions in cities. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

This book is a comprehensive climatic monograph, which addresses one of the most complex mountain environments in Europe, the Carpathians Chain, focusing on the branches that lie over Romania. The volume aggregates high quality input data, state-of-the-art techniques, regional analysis and overview perspectives, while addressing the spatial and temporal patterns of the main climatic elements. The study covers the period 1961-2010, for the present climate, while the perspective is extended up to 2050. The main climatic elements (e.g. air temperature, precipitation, wind) are analyzed, but some specific variables like snow depth and snow cover are also examined, both in terms of average behaviour and extreme characteristics. This is the first synthesis addressing the climate of this mountain region, and it provides useful information for scientists, mountain stakeholders, decision-makers and general public.
