  • The atmospheric thermodynamic equations are solved analytically to study the urban circulation caused by city heating.The perturbed flow and temperature fields are obtained and compared with observational facts from some urban boundary experiments.The agreement between the theoretical and observational results shows that this study may shed light on the physical characteristics of heat island circulation.
