A paper published today in the Journal of Climate uses a new method comparing satellite and surface temperature observations to assess the Urban Heat Island [UHI] effect.
The paper finds “UHI is stronger during the day and summer than during nighttime and winter,” which is the opposite of the predictions of computer models and assumption of most climate scientists heretofore that UHI is a “nocturnal phenomenon.
“which is the opposite of the predictions of computer models and assumption of most climate scientists …”
the word “unexpectedly” needs to be in there, as in almost everything related to libtard claims and plans
I’ve been wondering for some time now if
air conditioning contributes to UHI. Almost all buildings in the U.S. have A/C and when
the inside of a building is cooled the heat
must be transferred to the outside air. This would mean that UHI is far more prevalent
during summer and daylight hours.
