Urban Heat Island IOP October Wrap-up

A video of me talking about the IOP is here:

https://youtu.be/gAwHjoCJNe0

The GLOBE October Intensive Observation Period (IOP) for urban heat island had great data collecting from around the world. Data was collected by students at over 70 schools and 1471 observations of surface temperatures wee taken. A list of all of the schools is listed below.

Here is a map and a picture from Earth Heart Farms near Oak Harbor, OH. Students took field trips to the farm and learned about conservation efforts. The took urban heat island observations. 


 

You will see in the images that the University of Toledo has a lot of observations and sites. I was able to loan infrared thermometers and air temperature thermometers to students in my classes at the University of Toledo. I know that there are some other schools around the world that have done the same thing. This allowed my students to take observations from a lot of places. That is one of the reasons there are so many observations around Toledo, Ohio. But, also some schools I work with, Perkins High School, Crestwood High School in Dearborn Heights, MI, Main Street Intermediate School in Norwalk, OH, Clay High School in Oregon, OH, and Hilltop High School in West Unity, OH, also took observations during the IOP. 


 

Thank you all for taking observations and to contribute to the IOP.
