Urban Heat Islands Planning Fieldwork
When? • The Urban Heat Island is biggest: • At night (before sunrise) • In the summer • When there is no wind (<5m/s) • When the sky is clear • When the weather doesn’t change through the night
Land Use How can we sample the temperature of different sorts of areas?
Thermometers Need to be kept in the same place for long enough to adapt to the temperature If left outside, need to be 1m off the ground and at least 3m from a building Need to be very careful that the sensor holes aren’t covered Are weatherproof
Safety What safety issues do we need to consider for our fieldwork?
