Thee Urban Heat Island Effect: How Cities Become Warmer

On average, a large city can be -3 ° C warmer thain its rural oundistrings, and peakes of -10 ° C are undible, clear call conditions.

Przyczyny tej Urban Heat Island

Several interrelated factors drive the UHI effect. First, building materials such as concrete, asfalt, brick, and roofing tiles have high thermal mass andd low albedo (reflectivity). They absorb a large fraction of incoming solar radiation during the day and re- radiate it as infrared heat long after sunset. In contract, rural surfaces like soil and vegestiation reflect more sunlight and dissipate heet af apotransprition.

Changes in Wind Patterns andAirflow
