Abstract

The earth’s surface has been changed with the advancement of urbanization and deforestation in recent years. As a result of these artificial or natural alterations of the surface, it has been suggested in many fields that the microclimate near the surface has been changed because of the variation of momentum, latent and sensible heat fluxes. It is very important therefore to predict the change of microclimate near the surface, not only for the analysis of local climate like the heat island phenomena and air pollution in urban areas but also for climate change predictions on a global scale. In these backgrounds, it is necessary to understand in detail and construct the prediction model for the transport of heat, water vapor and momentum in the air and soil near t
