Journal ArticleDOI
Two decades of urban climate research: a review of turbulence, exchanges of energy and water, and the urban heat island
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed progress in urban climatology over the two decades since the first publication of the International Journal of Climatology (IJC) and highlighted the role of scale, heterogeneity, dynamic source areas for turbulent fluxes and the complexity introduced by the roughness sublayer over the tall, rigid roughness elements of cities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Profile relationships: The log-linear range, and extension to strong stability
TL;DR: In this paper, the diabatic mean profile forms in the surface layer is studied, by applying analysis methods having high resolving power to data from O'Neill, U.S.A. and from Kerang and Hay, Australia.

TL;DR: The Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study-1999 (CASES-99) refers to a field experiment carried out in southeast Kansas during October 1999 and the subsequent program of investigation as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the evolution of the atmospheric boundary layer coupled to the land surface for three contrasting nights in CASES-99
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a state-of-the-art single-column boundary layer model is evaluated with observations from the 1999 Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study (CASES-99) field experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physics of radiation fog: II – a numerical study
R. Brown,W. T. Roach +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model of fog is presented and the formation and growth of fog on a realistic time scale is simulated by the inclusion of radiative cooling due to water vapour and carbon dioxide and (when formed) fog droplets.

Journal ArticleDOI
Improved polythene-shielded net radiometer
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved net radiometer using very thin hemispherical polythene windshields is described, which permits direct measurements of radiative flux divergence in the lowest few metres of the atmosphere, with an accuracy of at least 10%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Notes on the measurement and estimation of atmospheric radiation — 2
TL;DR: In this article, a series of measurements of the infra red emission of the atmosphere has been made at Kew Observatory with Dines and Linke-Fuessner radiometers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the transfer of heat and water vapour above a surface of short grass
N. E. Rider,G. D. Robinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the profiles of temperature, humidity and wind have been determined by conventional methods in the lowest 2 m of the atmosphere above a close-cut grass surface, with simultaneous observations of the heat absorbed in the soil and of the short-wave and long-wave radiative flux of heat.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tabular method for the computation of temperature change by infrared radiation in the free atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present tables for the computation of the rate of temperature change due to infrared radiation in the free atmosphere, based on empirical measurements by F. A. Brooks and Robinson of the emissivity of water vapor.
