3% of Earth's landmass is now urbanized
This study, from 2005, is not one I’ve covered here before, but I thought it was relevant to have a look at as a logical followup to the recent announcement…
UAH and UHI
Note: clearly satellites can see urban heat, as demonstrated by this recent paper unveiled at the 2010 AGU meeting by NASA. See: Satellites Image the Urban Heat Islands in the Northeast.…
Satellites Image the Urban Heat Islands in the Northeast
Gee where have we seen something like this before? Dads/Moms and Grandparents: if you’d like your children/grandchildren to be able to do something on UHI for the spring science fair,…
Phil Jones and the Chinese weather station corruption
WUWT readers may recall the bizarre saga of Douglas Keenan’s attempt to bring the research data of CRU’s Dr. Phil Jones and SUNY’s Dr. Wei Chyung Wang to sunlight, which…
BoM embraces UHI
They join the UK Met office in embracing UHI now. Of course, my friend Jim Goodridge, former California State Climatologist, had this nailed in 1996 with his study of surface…
They only come out at night: "The Dark Side of Climate Change"
Looks like they’ve discovered what great heat sinks asphalt and concrete make: From the National Resources Defense Council via press release posted at investorideas.com (h/t to Mark) WORST SUMMER EVER?…
UHI study of the UK Armagh Observatory
Via Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. and with a h/t to Erik, I found this most interesting, because it demonstrates the even small things like hedges can influence temperature readings. This…
The Big Valley: Altitude Bias in GHCN
Foreword: The focus of this essay is strictly altitude placement/change of GHCN stations. While challenge and debate of the topic is encouraged, please don’t let the discussion drift into other…
Cooler white roofs – no complaints there
Maybe now NOAA will get rid of all remaining rooftop climate monitoring stations or stations sited over asphalt, like this one. As for the carbon emissions issue, that remains to…
Calculating global temperature
I’m happy to present this essay created from both sides of the aisle, courtesy of the two gentlemen below. Be sure to see the conclusion. I present their essay below…
Shocker: Heat wave story from Associated Press – no mention of global warming
Some supporting research conducted at New York City follows the news item below. h/t to WUWT reader Phil (not the grouchy one) -A Heat islands: Cities heat quickly, cool slowly…
New Temperature Record at BWI: atmospheric or asphaltic?

More weather BoM's in Oz
NOTE: There’s an error here. I misidentified the Laverton airport in the Google Earth Map. My bad. But I will say when I typed in Laverton Airport, thats what GE…
Grave concerns by Pielke Senior: Nature duped with claim of independent surface temp data sets

Butterfly study: a case study in confirmation bias
Guest post by Marc Hendrickx A little over a month ago reports appeared in the press (eg. Butterflies ‘fly early as planet warms’) that the common Brown Butterfly (Heteronympha merope) was…
Measure UHI in your town with this easy to use temperature datalogger kit
Readers may remember a couple of weeks back when I lamented that the downward economy had finally caught up to me and my little weather business. I asked readers if…
Another UHI effect – thunderstorms & lightning
The March-April edition of WeatherWise magazine has an interesting article in it regarding UHI (Urban Heat Island) effects of enhancing thunderstorm formation in the downwind heat plume. It Stems from…
Stanford: Urban CO2 domes mean more death
I find it funny though, that this study (full PDF here) mentions urban warming related to CO2 only. The terms “Urban Heat Island” (and variants including UHI) are not found…
