Mapping humidity plume over local climate zones in a high-altitude tropical climate city, Brazil

The aim of this research is to detect the cooling effects of water body evaporation in different Local Climate Zones (LCZs) in a tropical area. We attempted to register the humidity action over the urban environment caused by the evaporation of an urban lake according to the typical regional winds....
