Beyond the urban surface: bird-borne sensing reveals the atmospheric structure of urban heat
Urban heat is commonly characterized near ground level, while its vertical atmospheric structure remains difficult to observe across cities. We used bird-borne temperature sensors on homing pigeons (Columba livia) and yellow-legged gulls (Larus michahellis) to investigate the horizontal, vertical and daytime structure of the lower urban atmosphere over Rome. The dataset comprised 61,917…
