Hi,
My studies of weather and climate, base on my own data, has made me think of Heat Island issues.
In Wxsim, lower right box, you have Heat Island: and I have “rural” and the number “36”.
The range goes from 0 to 100!
I have started comparing my data with other - official - stations. Recalculating data with resepct to altitude, et c is quite easy, and in
once case I got the same results as a big consulting company - in an insurance case.
But, what about Heat Island index? I have seen names like ‘rural’ being used in different places and words for dense cities et c, as is also used in combinations of names and numbers in Wxsim for heat island. However, I have not found any source for an official scale of numbers and names. Or in case of Wxsim if it is related to some coefficient. I have noteced articles that a change of some definitions of Heat Islands were made around 2011.
The thing is - I have not seen Swedish Met Office (SMHI) stating anything about where their stations are situated, i.e. their Heat Index in any kind of scale/range.
I appreciate any knowlede shared regarding this.
