A community-based mesoscale meteorological model (MM5-Version 1) was applied to the northeastern US urban corridor under two scenarios, one with the existing land use/land cover (base case), and the second reflecting a hypothetical change in about 40% of the base case urban grid cells to deciduous forest. A comparison of the two meteorological fields reveals substantial localized differences in surface temperature and zonal wind speeds. [UMN]
