Solcerova, A. (author), van de Ven, F.H.M. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)One of the processes by which open water cools the air during hot summer days is by storing the heat and increasing its own temperature. This heat is then released at night. The aim of this paper is to analyze this cooling process by quantifying the magnitude of turbulent, latent and sensible, heat fluxes in comparison to radiative and ground...journal article 2019

Solcerova, A. (author), van Emmerik, T.H.M. (author), van de Ven, F.H.M. (author), Selker, J.S. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)A phenomenon known as the skin effect-a layer of surface water that is colder than the water beneath it-was previously described in oceanography and verified in lab measurements. Only a few measurements have been done on the skin effect in field conditions, and therefore this phenomenon is relatively unknown. This paper presents measurements...journal article 2018

Solcerova, A. (author), van de Ven, F.H.M. (author), Wang, Mengyu (author), Rijsdijk, Michiel (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Rapid urbanization and an increasing number and duration of heat waves poses a need to mitigate extremely high temperatures. One of the repeatedly suggested measures to moderate the so called urban heat island are green roofs. This study investigates several extensive sedum-covered green roofs in Utrecht (NL) and their effect on air...journal article 2017

Hilgersom, K.P. (author), van Emmerik, T.H.M. (author), Solcerova, A. (author), Berghuijs, W.R. (author), Selker, John (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author)Fibre optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) is widely applied in Earth sciences. Many applications require a spatial resolution higher than that provided by the DTS instrument. Measurements at these higher resolutions can be achieved with a fibre optic cable helically wrapped on a cylinder. The effect of the probe construction, such as its...journal article 2016
