Long-term Turbulent Sensible-Heat-Flux Measurements with a Large-Aperture Scintillometer in the Centre of Łódź, Central Poland

Abstract: We investigate the area-averaged sensible heat flux (Q H ) obtained with a scintillometer along a 3.1-km path length over the city centre of Łódź, Central Poland. The annual cycle of Q H peaks in June but is lower by the middle of summer. In winter, due to a large amount of anthropogenic heat input, Q H remains positive all day long, with positive nighttime fluxes also found during months with frequent cold advection, e.g., June 2010. In the diurnal cycle of this flux, several features specific to urban areas … Show more

“…While numerous studies of urban landscapes have already been conducted (Bassett et al, 2016;Podstawczyńska, 2016;Theeuwes et al, 2017; see also reviews by Arnfield, 2003;Lietzke et al, 2015;Roth, 2000), compared to other global environment types, urban observations are still quite limited (Grimmond et al, 2016). Specifically, more detailed information is required about the urban water and carbon budgets, as well as mixing and pollution concentrations within the urban canopy layer (UCL), the zone of human occupation (Christen, 2014;Grimmond et al, 2016;Memon et al, 2009;Mills et al, 2010;Mirzaei & Haghighat, 2010;Nelson et al, 2007;Nicolini et al, 2013;Zieliński et al, 2018). Fortuniak et al (2006) highlighted the need to analyze urban influences within specific weather categories, due to large variability associated with transient meteorological phenomena.…”

“…Since 2006, the EC system has been extended to measure the turbulent CO2 flux (Pawlak et al 2011), and from 2013 also the CH4 flux (Pawlak, Fortuniak 2016). In 2009-2012, studies on the intensity of turbulence and sensible heat flux over the city centre were carried out on a three-kilometre path using a scintillometer (Zieliński et al 2013(Zieliński et al , 2017(Zieliński et al , 2018. The turbulence characteristics were also analyzed based on several years of EC data from two towers (Fortuniak et al 2013;Fortuniak, Pawlak 2015).…”
