Abstract
This paper presents the results of an urban measurement campaign performed in a street canyon in Athens, Greece. A number of field experimental procedures were organized during hot weather conditions, on a 24-h basis for five consecutive days during July 2002. Wind velocity measurements were conducted inside and outside the street canyon together with air and surface temperature measurements. Based on the results of air and surface temperature measurements, a further analysis is performed for the investigation of airflow inside the canyon when the ambient flow is parallel, perpendicular and oblique relative to the long canyon axis. The observed airflow characteristics are associated with the impact of thermal effects mainly induced from ground heating due to the incident solar radiation. However, the role of the finite length canyon effects related to wind circulation near street intersections, on the observed airflow patterns, is also identified. © 2007
