Urban Impact on Weather and Climate

Investigates the effects of sprawling urbanization upon the character of the atmosphere and the weather of urban areas. Uses models and infrared photography to show the radically different heating and cooling rates of asphalt or concrete areas and grassy, rural landscapes. Demonstrates precipitation and wind pattern changes produced by cities and emphasizes the need for research into long-range effects of urbanization on the climate.
