Abstract:
An attempt is undertaken to separate out the contribution of a city to variations of thermodynamic characteristics of the air, using two sites situated on the windward and leeward sides of the city of Tomsk. At the sites, two towers are installed, each carrying identical systems for measurements of the air humidity and temperature, wind speed and direction at four heights: 10, 20, 30, and 40 m. Both of the systems have been operated synchronously since July 2004. Tentative monitoring data, indicating the scale of Tomsk as a heat island, are presented.
