Urban heat island intensity is stronger and air quality poorer under a chinook than under nonchinook weather. These discrepancies are explained in part by the observed differences in wind pattern, atmospheric stability, and mixing depth associated with these weather conditions. Heat island intensity
The climate of built-up regions differs significantly from rural regions and the most important modifying effect of urbanization on local climate is the urban temperature excess, otherwise called the urban heat island (UHI). This study examines the influence of built-up areas on the near-surface ai
