Time Series Analysis of a Daytime Urban Heat Island in Dar es Salaam Metropolitan Areas.

<p>The study aimed to determine the existing linear influence levels of various causative factors of Urban Heat Island (UHI) by using Geographically Weighted Regression Model (GWR) that determines non-stationarity by generating a new equation for each sample size. Urban heat island occurs when higher temperatures reside in urban areas compared to surrounding areas due to the replacement of natural vegetation with construction materials during development purposes. Time Series with Linear Regression was used to determine the linearity between dependent and independent variables. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) products such as MOD11A1, MCD43A1, MOD09A1 and MOD13A1 were used to acquire Land Surface Temperature (LST), Albedo, Indexed-Based Built-Up Index (IBI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) respectively. In-situ datasets of the wind speed were acquired from Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA). UHI was observed to have a non-linear trend with IBI and wind speed and a linear trend with Albedo and EVI. The strongest values of UHI were observed at the city center, IBI was observed as a leading causative factor by having a non-lineality influence of 0.023 followed by Albedo, wind speed and EVI with an influence of 0.019, 0.016 and -0.015 respectively. Since IBI and Albedo contribute more to the development of heat island, urban residents should be encouraged to use construction materials with a lower absorption rate of solar energy.</p>

Supplementary Material: Numerical Simulations of Seismoacoustic Nuisance Patterns from an Induced M 1.8 Earthquake in the Helsinki, Southern Finland, Metropolitan Area

<p>Seismic waves can couple with the atmosphere and generate sound waves. The influence of faulting mechanisms on earthquake sound patterns provides opportunities for earthquake source characterization. Sound radiated from earthquakes can be perceived as disturbing, even at low ground-shaking levels, which can negatively impact the social acceptance of geoengineering applications. Motivated by consistent reports of felt and heard disturbances associated with the weeks-long stimulation of a 6-km-deep geothermal system in 2018 below the Otaniemi district of Espoo, Helsinki, we conduct fully coupled 3D numerical simulations of wave propagation in the solid Earth and the atmosphere. We assess the sensitivity of the ground shaking and audible noise distributions to the source geometry of the induced earthquakes based on the properties of the largest local magnitude ML 1.8 event. Utilizing recent computational advances and the open-source software SeisSol, we model seismoacoustic frequencies up to 25 Hz, thereby reaching the lower limit of the audible sound frequency range. We present synthetic distributions of shaking and audible sounds at the 50&ndash;100 m scale across a 12 km &times; 12 km area and discuss implications for better under- standing seismic nuisances in metropolitan regions. In five 3D coupled elastic&ndash;acoustic scenario simulations that include data on topography and subsurface structure, we analyze the ground velocity and pressure levels of earthquake-generated seismic and acoustic waves. We show that S waves generate the strongest sound disturbance with sound pressure levels &le; 0.04 Pa. We use statistical analysis to compare our noise distributions with commonly used empirical relationships. We find that our 3D synthetic amplitudes are generally smaller than the empirical predictions and that the interaction of the source mechanism-specific radiation pattern and topography can lead to significant nonlinear effects. Our study highlights the complexity and information content of spatially variable audible effects associated with small induced earthquakes on local scales.</p>

Localized uplift, widespread subsidence and implications for sea level rise in the NYC Metropolitan Area

<p>Regional relative sea level rise is exacerbating flooding hazards in the coastal zone. In addition to changes in the ocean, vertical land motion (VLM) is a driver of spatial variation in sea-level change that can either diminish or enhance flood risk. Here we apply state-of-the-art Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) time-series analysis to estimate velocities and corresponding uncertainties at 30 m resolution in the New York City Metropolitan Area, revealing VLM with unprecedented detail. We find broad subsidence of 1.6 mm/yr consistent with glacial isostatic adjustment to the melting of the former ice sheets, and previously undocumented hotspots of both subsidence and uplift that can be physically explained in some locations. Our results inform ongoing efforts to adapt to sea-level rise and reveal points of VLM that motivate both future scientific investigations into surface geology and assessments of engineering projects.</p>

MODIS/ASTER (MASTER) imagery and derived data in select neighborhoods of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area

A data collection campaign using the MODIS/ASTER airborne simulator (MASTER) was conducted in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area in July 2011 to collect visible through mid-infrared multispectral imagery. High resolution (7 m/pixel) land surface temperature products for day and night periods were calculated using the mid-infrared bands of data; surface reflectance, albedo, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) products were calculated using the visible through shortwave infrared band data for 41 select neighborhoods. While the full MASTER dataset has been processed to at-sensor radiance, it did not include native geolocation data. As georeferencing the entire dataset was not possible with funds available, the processed data described above were extracted for the 41 spatially discrete Phoenix Area Social Survey neighborhoods within the MASTER flight boundary.

North Desert Village Experiment - a landscaping experiment in neighborhoods of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area: 2003-2014

The North Desert Village (NDV) landscape experiment at the Arizona State University Polytechnic campus was designed to give a platform for CAP LTER researchers to study human–landscape interactions. Four residential landscape design and water-delivery types established in blocks of six households each (mini-neighborhoods) mirrored the four prevailing residential yardscape types found across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area: (1) Mesic: a mixture of exotic high water-use vegetation and shade trees with turf grass, (2) Oasis: a mixture of drip-watered, high and low water-use plants on granite substrate, and sprinkler-irrigated turf grass, (3) Xeric: individually watered, low water-use exotic and native plants on granite substrate, and (4) Native: native Sonoran desert plants on granite substrate without supplemental water. Six additional households are monitored in a control treatment area that did not receive landscaping treatment or supplemental water. Major research questions include: How do landscape design and irrigation methods affect net primary productivity and under-canopy microclimate, and soil nutrient pools and fluxes. In addition, the mini-neighborhoods at NDV were incorporated into CAP LTER biodiversity monitoring programs, facilitating insights into insect abundance and diversity, and bird activity in these experimental treatment areas. During summer 2005, the landscape and irrigation systems for each of the treatment areas were completed. During spring 2006, micrometeorological (micromet) stations were installed in the central common area of each treatment area. Data continually monitored included soil temperature, soil heat flux, and volumetric water content of soil at 30-cm depth. Air temperature at 2-m height and soil-surface temperature (recorded by an infrared thermometer at 2-m height) were also monitored regularly. Landscape irrigation water application volumes were recorded approximately monthly, and the electric meters of treatment-area dw

Desert Fertilization Experiment: composition of annual plants in study plots within desert preserves in and around the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, spring 2008

Launched in 2006 with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and leveraged by the CAP LTER, the Carbon and Nitrogen deposition (CNdep) project sought to answer the fundamental question of whether elemental cycles in urban ecosystems are qualitatively different from those in non-urban ecosystems. Ecosystem scientists, atmospheric chemists, and biogeochemists tested the hypothesis that distinct biogeochemical pathways result from elevated inorganic nitrogen and organic carbon deposition from the atmosphere to the land. To test the hypothesis, scientists examined the responsiveness of Sonoran desert ecosystems to nutrient enrichment by capitalizing on a gradient of atmospheric deposition in and around the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Fifteen desert study sites were established, with five locations each west and east of the urban core, and in the urban core in desert preserves. In addition to the gradient of atmospheric deposition in and around the urban core, select study plots at each of the fifteen desert locations receive amendments of nitrogen, phosphorus, or nitrogen + phosphorus fertilizer. Measured variables include soil properties, perennial and annual plant growth, and atmospheric deposition of nitrogen. At the close of the initial grant period, the CAP LTER assumed responsibility for the project, renamed the Desert Fertilization Experiment, which provides a remarkable platform to study the long-term effects of nutrient enrichment on ecosystem properties. This data set features the composition of annual plants in subplots at project study sites assessed in spring 2008. These data are published independently of surveys of annual plants in subsequent years owing to slightly differnet methods employed in 2008 relative to other years. Investigators interested in annual plants composition data from other years, or for other Desert Fertilization Experiment data, should search the data repository for 'desert fertilization experiment'.

Input and output files for WRF urban simulations for the metropolitan area of Tel-Aviv

<p><span><span>We implement and verify for the first time four Weather Research and Forecasting model urban configurations, </span></span><span><span>focused on the coastal metropolitan area of Tel-Aviv (MTA) using updated land use and morphological maps. We analyze the mesoscale summertime flow and the urban canopy (UC) role in the occurrence of different hodograph dynamics observed within MTA at night. These events may be significant in air quality research. The four configurations – bulk (MM), single-layer (SLUCM), multi-layer (BEP), and BEP coupled with the building energy model – reproduce the observed diurnal temperature and wind cycles, with similar 10m wind direction bias and RMSE (15<sup>o</sup> and ~30<sup>o</sup>, respectively), with preference for MM and SLUCM at night. However, the SLUCM shows the lowest skill for the 10m wind speed (WS) (bias and RMSE 1ms<sup>-1</sup>), and the BEP shows the largest underestimation of the 2m temperature, ~-2.5<sup>o</sup>C. In the SLUCM, the WS increases over an UC and with increasing building heights. These results call for a re-examination of the SLUCM WS parameterization. The simulations show that at night, a convergence line (CL) builds up with the urban heat island, downstream of the NW flow. West of the CL, the wind continues flowing from the sea, and rotates anti-clockwise to form a non-elliptical sea-breeze hodograph. Removing MTA UC restores an elliptical hodograph. East of the CL, the UC supports an elliptical hodograph with a clockwise rotation through the NE sector, previously reported as dynamically unstable. We expect such wind hodograph dynamics within similar coastal metropolitan areas.</span></span></p>

Data from: Signatures of rapid evolution in urban and rural transcriptomes of white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) in the New York metropolitan area

Urbanization is a major cause of ecological degradation around the world, and human settlement in large cities is accelerating. New York City (NYC) is one of the oldest and most urbanized cities in North America, but still maintains 20% vegetation cover and substantial populations of some native wildlife. The white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus, is a common resident of NYC's forest fragments and an emerging model system for examining the evolutionary consequences of urbanization. In this study, we developed transcriptomic resources for urban P. leucopus to examine evolutionary changes in protein-coding regions for an exemplar 'urban adapter'. We used Roche 454 GS FLX+ high throughput sequencing to derive transcriptomes from multiple tissues from individuals across both urban and rural populations. From these data, we identified 31,015 SNPs and several candidate genes potentially experiencing positive selection in urban populations of P. leucopus. These candidate genes are involved in xenobiotic metabolism, innate immune response, demethylation activity, and other important biological phenomena in novel urban environments. This study is one of the first to report candidate genes exhibiting signatures of directional selection in divergent urban ecosystems.
