Man, that's a really high quality video. It deserves way more views than that.
Thank you!
I completely agree.
Always great as usual. Waiting for that lake episode.
Thank you!
I live in a small town in Alabama of 14,000 that's also located on the shores of a very large inland lake. Having been born and raised in Cleveland and now living here for about twelve years, I'm familiar with both climates. It's surprising how much this is like a miniature version of ?Cleveland (although nowhere near as cold in winter). I live about half a mile from our small downtown and the weather station at my house will consistently be 1-2 degrees F cooler at night than at the post office downtown. It down't take a lot of buildings and pavement to set up up a heat island. I've even had lake effect snows, where surrounding areas might get an inch and I'll get four inches. The lake also has a negative effect on tornado formation, with this county having one of the lowest numbers of tornadoes per sq mi in all of Alabama. I've yet to see a good explanation of this phenomena. Good luck to all the students with all this crap you're being put through. I graduated in 1976, and it turns out that was a lot better time to go to college.
That's fascinating how such a small lake can set up lake effect snow. I did a month or so of research on the topic last year for school and learned a lot of info. I'll definitely make a video of it when it gets colder out. Speaking of, it seems like Colorado is going to go from 100 degrees to freezing in about 36 hours next week. I'm sure that will be fun. Thanks for the comment!
I've noticed longer Summers, later freezes and milder Fall and Winter weather in the Mid-South as well as the encroachment of formerly Deep South animal species (armadillo and alligator) and wonder if the UHI is pronounced enough in surrounding small towns (with a lot of concrete, residences, big box stores) to account for overall regional warming. Farmland and forests are going away in rural areas as well.
*Reducing Urban Heat In A Tropical City*
2 simple, fundamental, effective and cheap long term solutions for reducing urban heat in a tropical city:
1) Plant more trees near areas where there are running water in streams, canals or rivers
2) Create more running waters in streams near areas there are more trees.
When more water has been evaporated, more urban heat will be removed from the city.
Notes:
1) Other vegetation do not result in as much water evaporation as water evaporation by trees
2) Trees not near running water or streams may not have enough water for water evaporation to effectively reduce ambient heat in the environment or to reduce urban heat
3) Most current air-con systems are very wasteful as they merely transfer indoor heat to outdoor, resulting in increase in the ambient temperature in the environment or increase in urban heat.
Do you shoot on your own? I dig your style.
Thanks! Yup I usually do it myself
@@theVHSvlog Awesome work! Richard Linklater shot on his own too!
