Abstract Climate change is intensifying urban climate problems and the design of public and private spaces should take this into account. However, the public often does not recognize these problems due to perceptual barriers. The hypothesis of this paper is that such perceptual barriers can be overcome through ‘climate revelatory visualizations’ that communicate the problems and solutions in an understandable way and can nudge parties into taking action. We created and tested several photorealistic animated visualization styles. The results indicate that urban climate problems and adaptation measures should be presented in photorealistic animations with graphic overlays to overcome perceptual barriers. The climate revelatory visualizations should frame climate adaptation positively, and feature the everyday environments of the target audience. Visualizations that reveal current situations, specifically the risks of particular climate problems, prove to have a warning function, whereas visualizations that reveal adaptation measures can motivate citizens and urban designers to take adaptation action.

通过动画可视化揭示城市气候

摘要 气候变化加剧了城市气候问题，公共和私人空间的设计应考虑到这一点。然而，由于感知障碍，公众往往没有认识到这些问题。本文的假设是，这种感知障碍可以通过“气候启示可视化”来克服，这种可视化以可理解的方式传达问题和解决方案，并可以推动各方采取行动。我们创建并测试了几种逼真的动画可视化风格。结果表明，城市气候问题和适应措施应以具有图形叠加的逼真动画形式呈现，以克服感知障碍。气候启示可视化应积极构建气候适应，并以目标受众的日常环境为特色。
