Abstract

Ongoing climate change is increasing summertime temperatures, and frequency and intensity of heatwaves in Europe, which can threaten human health. Relatively little is known about how quickly outdoor heat penetrates into residences during heatwaves. Long-term and systematic networks recording indoor temperatures are challenging to install and maintain, and therefore scarce. We first report on crowdsourced indoor air temperature data in residences in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) during a heatwave event in September 2023. These data complement professional long-term indoor air temperature observations in 92 houses in Amsterdam. Second, we document the lessons learnt in the design and execution of this citizen science activity. 571 indoor temperature records were collected through the citizen science crowdsourcing approach, with a median value of 28.0 °C on the warmest day in the study period, while outdoor mean minimum and maximum temperatures reached 20.6 °C and 31.1 °C respectively. The results indicate that the crowdsourcing approach reports temperatures that are significantly higher than the professional approach, which supports the need for professional indoor networks. Finally, local media attention was critical in reaching a wide audience.
阿姆斯特丹的室内热量:比较专业网络和公民科学方法观测到的室内空气温度
持续的气候变化正在增加欧洲夏季的气温、热浪的频率和强度,从而威胁人类健康。人们对热浪期间室外热量如何快速渗入室内知之甚少。长期、系统地记录室内温度的网络在安装和维护方面具有挑战性,因此非常稀缺。我们首次报告了 2023 年 9 月热浪期间荷兰阿姆斯特丹居民室内空气温度的众包数据。这些数据是对阿姆斯特丹 92 所住宅的专业长期室内空气温度观测数据的补充。其次,我们记录了在设计和实施这一公民科学活动过程中吸取的经验教训。通过公民科学众包方法收集了 571 条室内温度记录,研究期间最热一天的中值为 28.0 °C,室外平均最低气温和最高气温分别达到 20.6 °C和 31.1 °C。结果表明,众包方法报告的气温明显高于专业方法,这支持了对专业室内网络的需求。最后,当地媒体的关注对广泛受众至关重要。
