Sentences with phrase «urban heat effect»

But the SST readings are separate from the issues of urban heat effect and also show warming in the last 2 decades.
A group of skeptical auditors wanted to make sure that when the UEA CRU surface record was putatively adjusted for urban heating effects, that these effects were estimated robustly and that corrections were in fact correctly implemented.
Differences between the temperature anomaly products is related to: different selections of input data, different methods for assessing urban heating effects, and (most important) different methodologies for estimating temperatures in data - poor regions like the Arctic.
This raw data is analyzed using methods that account for the distribution of temperature stations around the globe and for urban heating effects that could skew the calculations.
This raw data is analyzed using an algorithm that takes into account the varied spacing of temperature stations around the globe and urban heating effects that could skew the calculation.
De Sherbinin notes the research did not tease apart how much these trends were caused by the urban heating effect versus climate change.
The Berkeley conclusions about the urban heat effect were nicely explained by Andy Skuce in an SkS post in 2011.
NASA GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISSTEMP) describes how NASA handles the urban heat effect and links to current data.
Re: # 37 — «I think # 33 is arguing against global warming (or is claiming the warming might be just an urban heat effect).»
I think # 33 is arguing against global warming (or is claiming the warming might be just an urban heat effect).
The GISTEMP analyses correct for an urban heating effect that would otherwise lead to a (slightly) stronger trend globally.
Combining the greater share of weather stations in more urban areas over time with this urban heat effect also tends to increase the rate that recorded temperatures tend to rise over time.
The «Chinagate» scandal appears to demonstrate that much of the temperature change in China may actually have been «caused» by placing monitoring equipment in rapidly urbanizing areas — rather than documenting a change in the climate, such data simply illustrates the long - established «urban heat effect» associated with cities around the world.
The urban heat effect has been discounted and can not explain the warming oceans, says Thomas Wigley, a climatologist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado.
This raw data is analyzed using methods that account for the varied spacing of temperature stations around the globe and for urban heating effects that could skew the calculations.
With the urban heat effect — in which dense cities and paved surfaces produce more heat than in rural areas — people in cities may feel greater impacts.
For example, USGCRP agency data was used to develop Chicago's Climate Action Plan, which addressed future temperature increases by helping property owners create green landscapes and operate with increased energy efficiency (green roofs and landscapes absorb less heat than concrete or asphalt and therefore lessen the urban heat effect).
In January 2012, climate researcher Trevor Prowse put questions to the Bureau of Meteorology about the results charted above, making the point that as the 14 tidal stations are mostly free of urban heat effect, all are at sea level and are well scattered around Australia, they may be more accurate than any other land - based data.
These raw measurements are analyzed using an algorithm that considers the varied spacing of temperature stations around the globe and urban heating effects that could skew the conclusions if left unaccounted for.
The Berkeley conclusions about the urban heat effect were nicely explained by Andy Skuce in an SkS post in 2011.
NASA GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISSTEMP) describes how NASA handles the urban heat effect and links to current data.
Jacobson and Ten Hoeve note that reflecting light from white roofs may lead to a decrease in cloud cover, thereby increasing, not decreasing, the urban heat effect.
Could we select a limited number (< 100) of sites not subject to the urban heat effect and invite interested parties to predict; a) the annual average temperature at that site and b) the annual temperature range at that site.
