Aerosol Flux Measurements

Fig 3: Sensible heat fluxes measured above three UK cities, Edinburgh, London & Manchester. Note the summertime heat fluxes from central Manchester. Due to the high density of steel/glass/concrete construction and low greenspace zones in central Manchester compared to the Edinburgh & London measurement sites, the heat fluxes rarely drop below zero in summer.
