Objective: Using two small data loggers, measure subsurface temperatures continuously over at least 7 days in an ‘open’ and densely ‘built-up’ location characterized by a gradient of contrasting sky view factors.
Method: Become familiar with the HOBO data loggers and their software. Install the HOBO thermometer probes at exactly similar depth (5 – 10 cm). Run them over 7 days. Compare the subsurface climates at the selected locations and relate those to urban structure in the vicinity.

Instrumentation provided: data logger with thermometers, software, interface. You bring: Field book, PC
We have already collected the data, and we got the primary result. From first two figure, we find, Range at Oak is smaller than totem field which is strange. Average temperature is almost same in Oak. Surface temperature is varying greatly in both site.
From figure 2-1 and 2-2, UHI sub air doesn’t change around 1℃ while sub temperature change. Totem’s change is greater than oak.
From figure 3-1 and 3-2, construction influence has a small effect of urban heat island. Construction is not strong enough to effect urban temperature. But we think maybe urban heat island will be stronger if we put more construction in urban area.
Limitation: Better location, longer study period, deeper probe, more specific weather data
