Abstract: Sensible heat fluxes over a light industrial area in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, are analyzed from observed tower fluxes and modeled using a bulk heat transfer approach. The bulk transfer models are initialized ...

Abstract: The design of an automated radiometer traversing system used to measure nocturnal longwave surface radiative budgets in a model urban canyon is described. The system allows two net radiometers to be traversed around the ...

Abstract: An observation program using ground and airborne thermal infrared radiometers is used to estimate the surface temperature of urban areas, taking into account the total active surface area. The authors call this the complete ...

Abstract: The relative performance of four independent methods to estimate the magnitude and diurnal behavior of net heat storage fluxes (?QS) in a city center is assessed. This heat flux is a significant but understudied component ...

Abstract: he paper addresses the question of whether the modeling practice of summing separate land-cover tiles to give urban fluxes at the neighborhood scale has merit. A central-city site in Basel, Switzerland, was instrumented ...
