Characteristics of the urban heat island at Georgetown, Ontario / by Roger J. Smith.: En57-46/7E-PDF

"Climatologists have recognized for over a century that urban places are capable of modifying the temperature of the air above them. Since this modification is almost always an increase, the phenomenon is referred to as the urban "heat island". The foremost contributors to our present knowledge of urban climates include Sundborg(1951), Kratzer (1956), Landsberg (1956), Mitchell (1961), Chandler (1962,1965) and Woollum (1964)"--Introduction.
