Abstract

An inventory of heat fluxes from different types of neighbourhood has been made for the 214 km 2 of Łódź. Mean annual heat flux over the 80 km 2 urbanised area is 28.5 W m −2, ranging from 12 W m −2 in July to 54 W m −2 in January. New areas of blocks of flats (about 30 km 2) have a mean annual flux of 35 W m −2 (73 W M −2 in winter, and 14 W m −2 in summer). Values of anthropogenic heat flux calculated in the central districts of the city, where there are industrial factories and residential dwellings, have a mean annual flux of 40 W m −2 (71 W m −2 in January and 18 W m −2 in July). The large anthropogenic heat emissions are important contributors to the city's climate in winter.
