ABSTRACT: Urban mitigation scenarios for the development area in Prague, Czech Republic were calculated by the LES model PALM (Maronga et al, 2015) extended with the urban surface model for radiation processes (Resler et al., 2017). Scenarios included the effect of tree planting and surface albedo adjustment on the surface temperature and NOX concentrations during a summer heat wave episode. It was shown that positive effect (cooling) in temperature can be accompanied by the increase of NOX concentration. Thus the impact of urban mitigation scenarios has to be carefully assessed from all relevant points of view.
