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.
