A forest canopy model is developed and coupled into the Regional Boundary Layer Model (RBLM) to fully consider the vertical structure of tree morphology. Instead of a slab surface model formerly used to represent trees in RBLM, the new version allows refinement of the radiation budgets as well as sensible and latent heat fluxes and, hence, more precise simulation of the thermal impacts of tree plantings on urban meteorological behavior. By applying this new version of RBLM, sensitivity tests are conducted to explore the potential impacts of different greenery scenarios on the thermal environment in an eastern Chinese city, Suzhou, during hot summer days. Greenings, both tree planting and grass surfacing, are beneficial in cooling the ambient air temperature. In general, tree planting is more beneficial than grass surfacing with the same coverage. In terms of surface energy balance, with tree coverage increasing from 0% to 20%, and then to 40%, the average surface net radiation fluxes at noon (1200...
