Observational Evidence of Neighborhood Scale Reductions in Air Temperature Associated with Increases in Roof Albedo

Observational Evidence of Neighborhood Scale Reductions in Air Temperature Associated with Increases in Roof Albedo

The effects of neighborhood-scale land use and land cover (LULC) properties on observed air temperatures are investigated in two regions within Los Angeles County: Central Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley (SFV). LULC properties of particular interest in this study are albedo and tree fraction...
