Knoxville Microclimates: Spatial And Temporal Variability In Ambient Air Temperature Across Four Urban Neighborhoods, David Andrew Howe
Knoxville Microclimates: Spatial And Temporal Variability In Ambient Air Temperature Across Four Urban Neighborhoods, David Andrew Howe
Masters Theses
The urban heat island (UHI), has been studied extensively over the past 30 to 40 years, yet questions remain regarding the spatiotemporal variability of the UHI, and what factors influence this variability. More recent studies have emphasized the microclimates within an urban setting, but most do not have the high resolution climate or land cover data necessary to truly understand the interactions taking place at a neighborhood-level scale. This study used a network of 10 identical weather stations and high resolution land use data in Knoxville, Tennessee to analyze the microclimates of a medium-sized city with a temperate climate over …
