1 h mean values of the long-wave radiant flux densities ( = down, up, E, S, W, and N) reaching the human-biometeorological reference person from the three-dimensional environment, related to the 1 h peak value of ( = 474W/m2), SSW-facing sidewalk (shaded by tree canopies) of a WNW-ESE street canyon, “Vauban” quarter in Freiburg during typical Central European summer day.
