Abstract
This paper shows the correlations of urban-rural temperatures in Lawrence, Kansas, with land-use types and surface materials. Temperatures were acquired at 168 points using the auto-traverse technique on 15 mornings, afternoons and evenings in late summer-early autumn. The relationships of these 45 detailed temperature patterns with 12 land-use types and 10 surface materials over the entire city and adjacent rural areas show that the land-use types most frequently associated with temperature patterns are residential, commercial (including the CBD) and undeveloped. Among the surface materials, surface asphalt, asphaltic roofing and water are related most often to temperatures. Several of these findings corroborate many results of previous urban numerical simulation modeling analyses.
