Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to understand whether or not heat that is radiated from the business district of a very small community impacts the local temperature field in the outer and inner portions of the community as a function of one or more variables (wind speed, wind direction, and degree of cloud cover). Previous studies of larger communities in the region showed that wind speed, direction, or cloud cover could lead to differences in the strength of the heat island effect even for a community of about 20,000 to 25,000 residents. Here we study the impact of a community which has fewer than 10,000 residents, and demonstrate that there was circumstantial evidence for a heat island effect.
