Seasonality of the urban heat island effect: patterns and drivers
J Schatz, CJ Kucharik - AGU Fall Meeting Abstracts, 2014 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
We conducted a rigorous analysis of the drivers of seasonality in the urban heat island (UHI)
effect. Many studies report annual cycles in UHI intensity and have attributed those patterns
to various hypotheses, including seasonal trends in wind and clouds, prevalence of anti-
cyclonic conditions, soil moisture, and day length. But to our knowledge, those hypotheses
have never been tested, leaving a substantial gap in our basic understanding of the urban
climate. We tested these and other hypotheses using two years of continuous temperature …
