Abstract
Twelve air temperature and humidity measurement series were carried out with the use of AKV-2 mobile station in Tomsk and its suburbs in different seasons and under different weather conditions. The urban heat island effect is shown to be observed in Tomsk in all seasons; the mean temperature increment is 2 °C in winter and 1 °C in summer. The fields of absolute humidity differ significantly for warm and cold seasons in Tomsk. It is shown that the humidity in Tomsk is mainly of anthropogenic origin in winter and of natural origin in summer.
