Abstract

We analyze urban temperature data from mobile measurements on a late summer day in combination with land use data to identify climate effects of urban water bodies in the German city of Münster. Direct effects on urban air temperature are heterogeneous and – in the evening – rather warming than cooling, while effects of urban green spaces are clearly cooling in the afternoon and evening. Depending on the distance to the next water body, cooling effects of urban green spaces are clearly intensifying, which can be interpreted as a result of better water supply of urban green.
