Lesson learnt from the Amsterdam Atmospheric Monitoring Supersite (abstract)
A survey of five years microclimate observations in Amsterdam
Here you can find the abstract of a research project presented during the session 'urban water systems' of the Reinventing the City Conference 2022, organised by the AMS Institute.
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."
