| Abstract: | Summary Quantitative measurements of the impact of an urban environment on the thermal state of the atmospheric boundary layer are
presented. Temperature profiles up to the height of 600 m were obtained in a continuous series of measurements by three microwave
profilers MTP-5 located in different areas of Moscow. The influence of this large city on urban heat island (UHI) parameters
was estimated on occasions with stationary atmospheric processes and during cases with frontal passage. Two types of UHI were
identified: one with a dome of urban warmth at all levels, and another with a low warm dome in combination with a lens of
cold air above. |
