SUMMARY:Faculty Seminar Series | 'Urban Heat Island – phenomenon on ground studied from space' by Dr. Prasad Pathak
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMan Made surfaces in urban areas retain heat after interacting w
 ith solar radiation. The increase in ambient temperature because of this wi
 thin urban regions compared to its rural counterparts results in urban heat
  island. This presentation will take you through the basics of urban heat i
 sland and provide you a synoptic view of the research being done about it, 
 globally.\nSpatial distribution of morphological parameters is linked tight
 ly with UHI experience at local level. When we examined the city of Delhi f
 or the same, it was observed that greener parts of the city (gardens etc.) 
 and mixed-land use areas actually performed badly w.r.t. UHI whereas the in
 dustrial zones with sparse mid rise buildings performed better. This study 
 provided a counter intuitive view of the assumptions which are used in the 
 literature for UHI and urban planning.\nWhile understanding the importance 
 of observing the individual man-made surfaces, the research adopted Arduino
  board based temperature and humidity sensors to characterise them. Daily-n
 ight patterns of the temperatures over select surfaces were observed. The r
 esearch concluded that hyper-local sensing is possible using open-source ha
 rdware and can supplement satellite observations using continuous observati
 ons through the sensors.\nZoom Meeting Link: https://flameuniversity.zoom.u

  retain heat after interacting with solar radiation. The increase in ambien
 t temperature because of this within urban regions compared to its rural co
 unterparts results in urban heat island. This presentation will take you th
 rough the basics of urban heat island and provide you a synoptic view of th

 phological parameters is linked tightly with UHI experience at local level.
  When we examined the city of Delhi for the same, it was observed that gree
 ner parts of the city (gardens etc.) and mixed-land use areas actually perf
 ormed badly w.r.t. UHI whereas the industrial zones with sparse mid rise bu
 ildings performed better. This study provided a counter intuitive view of t
 he assumptions which are used in the literature for UHI and urban planning.

 dity sensors to characterise them. Daily-night patterns of the temperatures
  over select surfaces were observed. The research concluded that hyper-loca
