The term «heat island» is used because
warmer city air lies in a «sea» of cooler rural air.
Hot, dark roofs on any building also
warm the city air, aggravating what is known as the urban heat island effect.

city with a climate and characteristics similar to London.

The world's most esteemed artists, dealers, curators and of course collectors have descended on the
city to soak in the
warm, moist
air and the effortlessly chic Miami now - ness.
According to data from the World Health Organization, rising temperatures on the planet are killing off the equivalent of a mid-sized
city every year; about 150,000 annual deaths can be attributed to global
warming, from causes including heat waves,
air pollution, infectious disease, food safety and production, flooding and more.
«The official thermometers are often located in the
warm exhaust of
air conditioning outlets, over hot tarmac at airports where they get blasts of hot
air from jet engines, at waste - water plants where they get warmth from decomposing sewage, or in hot
cities choked with cars and buildings.
Part of the absorbed radiation
warms the surrounding
air, a process that tends to stabilize the
air over a
city, which in turn increases the probability of higher pollutant concentrations.
How much of the
warming since 1850 was caused by land use changes (cutting down trees, asphalt, concrete, buildings,
cities,
air conditioners heating, etc.).
It is not unreasonable, especially if you live in a
city and you see and feel all the heat coming out of
air - conditioner vents, chimneys and exhaust pipes, and then wonder how much that contributes to global
warming.
They actually say something different:» For example, most mid-latitude studies show that the heat island intensity (the difference between the temperature of the
warmest location in the
city and the background rural value) of the near surface
air layer reaches its maximum a few hours after sunset on calm.
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.
And, in a big
city,
warmer air temperatures can impact
air quality, public health and the demand for energy.
To point out just a couple of things: — oceans
warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to
warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water
warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands»
warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters
warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger
cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small
warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town /
city, you will know how easy they get very
warmer than
air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to
cities (if not becoming an area inside the
city after some decade of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large
cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger
cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead of GW, maybe even that a small part of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).
However, on windy days, I expect the UHI effect to be vitiated by mixing of
air from outside the region of the
city with the relatively
warmed air; and I expect the windiness to reduce the stratification of the boundary layer («mix it up») and thus reduce the cooling effect of the NSTI.
Imagine knowing how your
city or state will cope with drier and
warmer conditions over the next 30 years; imagine getting a tornado warning an hour in advance providing an opportunity to get your family properly sheltered; imagine being able to evacuate only those coastal residents that will be directly impacted by a hurricane and not unnecessarily clearing hundreds of miles of the coast; imagine being able to tell a fire incident manager where the fire front will be in 6 hrs; imagine airline routing system that knows where a squall line will be in 12 hrs and the resulting efficiency in airport acceptance rates; or imagine
air quality predictions that would allow the time for special precautions to be taken for those at risk.
Cornell and Rutgers researchers report in the March issue of Oceanography that the severe loss of summertime Arctic sea ice - attributed to greenhouse
warming - appears to enhance Northern Hemisphere jet stream meandering, intensify Arctic
air mass invasions toward middle latitudes, and increase the frequency of atmospheric blocking events like the one that steered Hurricane Sandy west into the densely populated New York
City area.
«The data are very strong that the planet is
warming, as shown by analyses by NASA, NOAA, the Berkeley Earth group and others, by data from thermometers in the
air including those well away from
cities, thermometers in the ocean and in the ground, taken up by balloons and looking down from space, and changes in temperature - sensitive snow and ice and plants and animals,» said Alley.
Indeed, the term urban heat island is used to describe the dome of
warm air that frequently builds up over towns and
cities.
Given modern technological advances such as
air conditioning that allow societies to adapt and cope with living in a
warm environment, it is highly unlikely
cities like Phoenix will become abandoned in the future if the temperature were to
warm even a few more degrees.
So aerosols cool the
air, and in the»70s we started a massive reduction in smog and aerosols... maybe it isn't CO2
warming, but removing the smog in all the
cities where they put the thermometers...
«As well as helping to reduce
air pollution, keeping the
city cool during hot summers and
warmer during cold winters, the rooftop crops can help those living in poverty stave off starvation and even generate a decent income.»
Not all rental units come equipped with
