WUR Amsterdam urban meteorological and flux observations

From Ruisdael Observatory Data Catalog
Dataset: WUR Amsterdam urban meteorological and flux observations
title WUR Amsterdam urban meteorological and flux observations
description The Amsterdam Atmospheric Monitoring Supersite (AAMS) contains an eddy covariance flux tower measuring turbulent fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat (evapotranspiration), CO2 and methane, and contains a scintillometer as well. Moreover, we measure up- and downwelling components of the solar and thermal radiation. The data documentation such as stream names, units and instrument type of the Veenkampen can be found in the Excelsheet at the website of https://maq-observations.nl/.

Amsterdam, as the capital of the Netherlands, is a hotspot of population density, industrialization, culture and innovation. The city contains a mix of quarters, ranging from historical to young, high-rise to extensive, build up to green in which people live, work and leisure.

In Amsterdam we study the urban climate and how people experience it. The city is often warmer (the urban heat island effect) and winds around buildings can be gusty. Vegetation, green roofs and street design affect the city’s climate.

The Amsterdam Atmospheric Monitoring Supersite (AAMS) is run by MAQ at Wageningen University in collaboration with the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions, the Municipality of Amsterdam, and the I-Change project.
