Wall Calendar: 13 impressive photographs (42 x 29 cm) of meteorological phenomena
Texts in German and English as well as illustrations on the reverse sides on the subject of urban climate
It has been known for millennia that cities have their own climate (see the article on this page), and these days a large proportion of people live in cities.
We therefore felt that it was high time to dedicate a calendar to this topic. The calendar presents various methods for investigating the urban climate.
Two aspects that are also dealt with in detail are urban overheating (urban heat islands) and air pollution.
There are articles on the wind conditions, the impact of urban greenery and urban water bodies as well as on urban rainwater management.
The processes in the atmosphere can be depicted both emotionally as well as rationally, using mathematical and scientific methods to explain and describe them.
In three examples, the meteorologist and artist René Sauerbrei shows how both depictions can be combined together.
