Anthropogenic Heat Flux in South African Cities: Initial estimates from the LUCY model. 32nd Annual Conference of the South African Society for Atmospheric Sciences (SASAS 2016), 31 October - 1 November 2016, Cape Town, South Africa, pp. 104-107978-0-620-72974-1http://www.csag.uct.ac.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/SASAS_2016_Conference_Proceedings_Final_18Nov_16.pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10204/10141Paper presented at the 32nd Annual Conference of the South African Society for Atmospheric Sciences (SASAS 2016), 31 October - 1 November 2016, Cape Town, South AfricaThe anthropogenic heat fluxes (AHF) from buildings, transport and people are an essential component of the urban climate within cities. Presently limited information on the AHF in South African cities exists. This study quantifies the AHF in South African cities using the LUCY (Large scale Urban Consumption of energy) model. This initial work provides an important baseline to support developing an improved characterisation of urban heat islands under a changing climate in South African cities.enAnthropogenic heatUrban Heat IslandClimate changeUrban climateCitiesAnthropogenic Heat Flux in South African Cities: Initial estimates from the LUCY modelConference PresentationPadayachi, Y.
