Abstract
Urban climate of rapidly growing cities such as Hanoi will alter not only owing to land use changes but also global warming effect. This chapter investigates the contributions of land use changes and global warming to the future increases in urban temperature in Hanoi for 2030 through a numerical simulation using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF). The future climate data utilized the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) projected by the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate Version 5 (MIROC5) through a direct dynamical downscaling method. In the 2030s, the average air temperature increase in the existing urban areas was projected to be up to 2.1 °C, of which up to 1.5 and 0.6 °C are attributable to global warming and land use changes, respectively. The future increase in urban temperature will likely exceed the cooling effects of any urban heat island (UHI) mitigation measures.
