IDENTIFICATION OF WIND DISCOMFORT ZONES USING GEOINFORMATION ANALYSIS: A CASE STUDY OF THE CITY OF SALEKHARD

The article discusses a methodology for identifying wind discomfort zones in Arctic cities using geoinformation analysis and the ArcticDEM digital elevation model. An approach is proposed based on a comprehensive assessment of slope exposure and steepness, as well as building density. A point-weight scale has been developed to rank the territory according to the degree of wind load. The method was tested using materials from the city of Salekhard.
