Assessing the Physical Surface Temperature Patterns in Urban Environment (Case Study: Tehran) by Aliakbar Shamsipour, Ghasem Azizi, Mostafa Karimi Ahmadabad, Masoumeh Moghbel

“…Then, using weather condition data gathered from Geophysic weather Station, land covers surface temperature patterns were divided into six categories including Sunny, Rainy, Snowy, cloudy, windy and a day after rain. Generally, one can conclude that different land covers surface temperature completely obey their thermal properties in sunny, windy and cloudy weather conditions so that, some surfaces such as Asphalt and cement which have less thermal conductivity and high absorbency show the highest surface temperature during the day but only there are some fluctuations in temperature behavior in cloudy and windy conditions which are according to the cloud cover changes or wind speed. …”
