Abstract
Temperature differences recorded from thermohms at the 60-, 170-, and 524-ft levels on the WHAS-TV tower in Louisville are analyzed. The data indicate that the heat island of an urban area has considerable effect on the vertical temperature differences observed at night so that the normal diurnal range of stability conditions encountered over an urban area is much smaller than that over open country.Keywords
