Accounting for atmospheric stability conditions in urban heat island studies: The case of Glasgow, UK

This paper is among a handful that attempt to link microclimate variations in cities to atmospheric stability conditions. This is a key distinction in urban heat island studies, where the day-to-day variation in the local climatic effects of urban morphology is too large to make meaningful links to urban design and policy recommendations. The work reported here is evidence to external collaboration by the formation of Sustainable Urban Environment Research Group and is the start of a series of papers on empirical derivation of intra (with-city) and inter (urban-rural) urban temperature variations and local thermal comfort in cold climate cities.
