Resumen:
The aim of the study was to conduct observations of the surface energy balance in Barcelona and relate the results to features of the climate and surface morphology. The eddy correlation approach was used to measure directly the turbulent sensible and latent heat fluxes. Measurements were conducted on the roof of the University of Barcelona central building, in June of 2001. The site is close to the urban heat island core. Results show that the convective sensible heat flux (Q(H)) dominates (34% of net radiation) over the heat used for evaporation (9%) in view of the scarcity of green areas. The largest proportion of energy went for storage in the building fabric (56%).
