Audio Transcript Excerpt: PROFESSOR: 'In microclimatology, we often observe that urban centers experience temperatures several degrees warmer than adjacent rural hinterlands—the urban heat island effect. While surface albedo differences and anthropogenic thermal emissions are well-documented contributors, today we will examine an under-appreciated thermodynamic driver: the urban boundary layer's aerodynamic roughness length. Specifically, how does the three-dimensional geometry of urban street canyons trap longwave terrestrial radiation and inhibit turbulent convective sensible heat flux during nocturnal cooling?'
