Urban Climate Network
The Urban Climate Network (UCN) is an Internet-based learning and data resource aimed at promoting an international community of students, teachers and professionals interested in urban climate studies. UCN uses new media technologies to create interactive educational modules, to encourage joint projects and to provide a forum for discussion, publication and idea sharing.
UCN offers an interactive learning environment for students and professionals interested in urban climatology. By connecting students with internationally recognised specialists in the field, UCN enables the creation of an evolving educational and social network and facilitates the emergence of new approaches Specifically, the UCN Web Site offers:
A collection of student projects
Urban Climate courses, using audio and video technologies, providing on-line interactive courses on various urban climate topics.
A searchable database of international scientific articles on urban climate.
Urban climate related links to urban climate programs world-wide, weather sites and meteorological associations.
An Interactive Forum- bulletin board for announcements, questions and follow-up.
An on-line journal for publishing articles and comments on disciplinary topics.
UCN is not meant to promote any university in particular. As so, it is not conceived to publicise one university and its professors, but rather to implement links between numerous universities around the world.
The web site is in constant development. The articles database, for instance, can be completed by your own articles on urban climate. Do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to advertise your papers.

Recently, Pierre Bessemoulin have sent a question to the
Urban Climate E-mail List:
"Is anybody aware of the existence of a document similar to the WMO Guide to meteorological instruments and methods of observation, but adapted to urban environments? I am particularly interested by recommendations for locating raingauges, and also other usual meteorological sensors. Thanks in advance."
