Domain-specific¶
- Urban Heat Island
- The effect is sharply diurnal, peaking at night rather than at the hottest part of the afternoon; it scales with city size, captured in Oke's empirical relation for European cities, ΔT ≈ 2.01·log(population) − 4.06, in which the maximum urban–rural temperature difference grows with the logarithm of population
This sourceThe source of the European regression ΔTu−r(max) = 2.01 log P − 4.06 (r² = 0.74; the North American fit is 2.96 log P − 6.41), fitted under calm, clear conditions, in which the maximum urban–rural difference scales with the logarithm of population; the nocturnal peaking asserted earlier in the same sentence is Oke (1982)'s.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
