Not exact matches

This could be because of the urban heat island effect, which causes temperatures in the city to rise as much 10 °C compared with those in the surrounding areas.

Turns out, the island's central land area soaks up just enough heat to cause effects on the site's climate measurements under certain conditions.

Although he doesn't actually come out and say it, Evans suggests that the global warming trend in the surface temperature record is an artifact caused by the urban heat island (UHI) effect:

The thermometer network is made up of a patchwork of non-research quality instruments that were never made to monitor long - term temperature changes to tenths or hundredths of a degree... Furthermore, land - based thermometers are placed where people live, and people build stuff, often replacing cooling vegetation with manmade structures that cause an artificial warming (urban heat island, UHI) effect right around the thermometer.

Because they live and work in highly urbanized areas that have the necessary attributes that cause a positive temperature feedback - often referred to as the Urban Heat Island effect (UHI).

a), b) & c) combined imply that the urban - heat - island effect is NOT increasing on a global basis, and therefore CAN NOT serve as the «real» cause giving rise to the impression of global warming as an artefact.

This is due to a phenomenon called the urban heat island effect that causes air temperatures in New York City and other major cities to be warmer than in neighboring suburbs and rural areas.

Some of the temperature increases shown by Dr Jones in fact are caused by temperature recording stations that were once in rural locations on the outskirts of cities now being affected by the Urban Heat Island effect as urban development surrounded the weather stations.

Furthermore, land - based thermometers are placed where people live, and people build stuff, often replacing cooling vegetation with manmade structures that cause an artificial warming (urban heat island, UHI) effect right around the thermometer.

FAIL The nonclimatic effects they are talking about are Urban Heat island trends caused by «socioeconomic determinants of surface processes and data inhomogeneities.»

One of the more common arguments you hear from global heating deniers and skeptics is that the urban heat island effect is causing global temperature measurements to look a lot hotter than they actually are.

Professor Muller and his colleagues, including this year's physics Nobel winner, Saul Perlmutter, had suspected the previous work had been tainted by the «urban heat island effect», where increasing urbanisation around weather stations was causing the temperature increases recorded over the past half - century.

I would also observe that this data is uncorrected for urban heat island effects (as cities urbanize they get hotter, and effect that is different than CO2 - cause global warming and is usually corrected for in global warming studies).

By using trees in the cities, we can moderate the heat - island effect caused by pavement and buildings in commercial areas.
