Sentences with phrase «where uhi»

** The UHI effect there was due to continual snow removal during the winter at French airports where all of the «official» thermometers are located (whereas, all of the surrounding countryside remained blanketed in snow and showed no increase in winter temperatures).

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.

If they are only going from 1950 to 2010 and taking areas that were already urbanized at the initiation of the evaluation, it isn't difficult to imagine scenarios where lighter building materials and a reduction in soot more than counteracted any growing UHI effect.

Let's step back a little on this: if Parker is going to use NCEP gridcell calm - windy as a «proxy» for UHI, then I'd like to see at some examples where it is agreed that there is known UHI and the NCEP gridcell calm - windy distinction picks off the UHI.

Where does Parker classify sites as to whether they are UHI or not?

To make it even more explicit (and I'll ignore all the intermediate points where he makes it explicit that he is talking about trend) Parker includes a paragraph near the end of his discussion, where he spells out that he is talking about trends, and that he is explicitly NOT disputing the existence of UHI.

where Tmax (j, n) is the maximum temperature you would have measured at site j and day n, had all the urbanization, asphalt, burning cans, etc. not been present; and UHI (j, n) represents the impact of all that stuff.

Where (quote the text) does parker ask whether the change in TMEAN over time in areas with UHI is different than areas without UHI?

No such statement is made in Oke et al 1991 or Johnson et al 1991, where nuanced discussions are made, with Fairbanks and Moscow being mentioned as examples of very large winter UHI effects.

where Tmin (j, n) is the minimum temperature you would have measured at site j and day n, without all the stuff; UHI (j, n) is the stuff again; and NSTI (j, n) is the near - surface temperature inversion.

# 139: rightly, this is the matter of ground stations: even without sensible UHI effect, we measure temperatures in very small and concentrated areas — where not only UHI, but also soil usage matters — but that are not representative neither of the main part of land surfaces.

Therefore let Trend [Ac]-- Trend [Aw] = (1 — r) Trend [UHI] + Cw where the new term Cw represents the cooling effect of windy weather systems.

UHI should also be taken into consideration when trying to figure out where the heat is coming from.

This will result in the station in question being a less accurate representation of the temperature at that specific location (where, for example, UHI is a real increase in temperature), but more characteristic of the region that it is located in.

When it comes to UHI, where typically comparisons are made between urban and rural settings, there is again nonsense in interpretations because the factors that caused a certain Tmax in the city need not be acting in a similar way at the rural setting.

The UHIs where all of the blue city residents exercise their ignorance and vote their fears are not going to go away.

You have to throw all urban stations out where you suspect UHI.

Are either of these «corrections,» UHI or microsite, applied to the surface values at the 50 or so stations where radiosondes are launched?

The land is only 30 % of the total, as the paper notes the cycle they find is found in the SST, where there is no UHI.

Given that a significant and agreed upon UHI effect exists and there seem to be objective methods of determining where it would be most and least prevalent, why would not a rather simple study be available whereby contrasting locations of UHI are measured for temperatures and wind in order to better test Parker's hypothesis?

This is where the issue of the UHI is easiest to see and during the summer it is very clear that the issue is real.

UHI is tackled in Section Three, but briefly, he observed that temperatures were routinely around 1 degree C (around 1.8 F) higher in cities than in rural areas, and cites the United States where differences of 2.8 to 15 degrees (F) are noted between the voluntary observers in rural areas, and the paid ones in the adjacent cities.

With UHI spikes even half what Hu finds, it is very important then to identify where in the pixels the met stations are, then to allow for that unique juxtaposition when including in any regional or global averaging.

Even in Norwich where he works, population 136,000, UHI will be more than 1C, although we have little truly rural land in SE England, so I could be understating things.

For example Berlin Dahlem with continuouis data from 1769 and Berlin Templehof with data from 1701 are» corrected» using data from the airports at Tegel, Schonefeld dating from 1953/63 where there was heavy military and civilian airtrafic and Alexanderplatz from 1991 all of which introduce a large UHI effect that shows in the» corrected data as +0.12 C — a seriosu undertimate of the UHI effect in my opinion as Templehof (an airport) already shows an increase over Dahlem (semi rural) of 0.15 C.
