Abstract: Surface properties, such as roughness and vegetation, which vary both within and between urban areas, play a dominant role in determining surface?atmosphere energy exchanges. The turbulent heat flux partitioning is examined ...

Abstract: Surface?atmosphere energy exchanges in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, located in the West African Sahel, were investigated during February 2003. Basic knowledge of the impact of land cover changes on local climate is needed ...

Abstract: A simple scheme to estimate net all-wave radiation (Q*) is evaluated using annual datasets in three urban settings (Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; and ?ód?, Poland). Results are compared with a regression model ...

Abstract: Turbulent fluxes of carbon dioxide and sensible heat were observed in the surface layer of the weakly convective nocturnal boundary layer over the center of the city of Marseille, France, during the Expérience sur Sites ...
