Detection of ventilation paths using morphometric method in the selected part of Lodz

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper was an indication of potential ventilation paths which affect proper functioning of the cities aerial system. The research was conducted using the most popular method – morphometric for the sake of low cost data gathering and high precision of final results. Due to the wind’s dominant direction, an analysis covered a windward part of Lodz. The first part of the research included an analysis of the basic roughness parameters such as: roughness length (zo), zero plane displacement height (zd) and porosity of the urban canopy layer (P). Based on the obtained results and taking into account ventilation paths criteria eight areas were designated which provide a free flow of air to the city.
