From the abstract:
"Cities have a distinct different weather and climate than the countryside, best known as the urban
heat island effect which can have negative effects on the human health, labour productivity, and energy demand. In addition, cities are vulnerable to flooding after peak-showers, and are major sources of greenhouse gasses. This presentation is a journey along five years of field observations in Amsterdam Atmospheric Monitoring Supersite which contains 24 weather stations across Amsterdam and a research tower measuring solar and thermal radiation, evapotranspiration (by eddy
covariance and scintillometer) and carbon dioxide fluxes."
