Heat fluxes through roofs and their relevance to estimates of urban heat storage

The storage heat flux (ΔQs) constitutes a large term in the heat balance of cities. This flux is difficult to measure but can be parameterized using relations between the net radiation (Q*) and the heat flux conducted into and out of the typical materials that form the surface of cities (QG)- The...
