A utilização de balões cativos para o estudo microclimático do bairro Lisboeta de Telheiras

Abstract

Captive balloons filled with standard helium and tinytalks (small low price thermal sensors/data loggers) are an effective way to probe the urban atmosphere for microclimatological purposes. This method can be important to establish the transferability of results to other areas with the same urban morphology and can be also an incentive to incorporate urban climate knowledge in urban planning. The first results in an urban canyon in the north of Lisbon are presented.
