GLOBE completed another great month of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Intensive Observation Period (IOP) in March 2022. 107 schools participated and took a total of 1699 observations throughout the month. It is great to see more and more schools becoming active in this very important project. UHI is becoming more and more important around the world. Saudia Arabia, Croatia, Greece and Taiwan had many schools take observations during March. I am so grateful for the participation of all of the students and teachers and the great work they have done. I would really like to encourage all of the teachers to have their students take surface temperature observations of more than one cover type. Have the students compare the surface temperature and air temperature above a grassy or vegetated surface as well as a built surface like asphalt or cement. The students will see how different materials have different temperatur

As you can see in the map below of the schools that took surface temperature observations during March, there is quite a wide spread of observations across the world.


 

The hottest temperature recorded by students during the March IOP was 67.6 degrees C on a dry/paved surface at Yubli School of the Negev in Israel. They joined GLOBE in 2019. The coolest temperature of -12.7 degree C was recorded by a school in Greece but one that falls under the virtual school designation.


You can see in this map of Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East below how the temperature varies across the region on March 2, 2022. The GLOBE observations are overlaid onto land surface temperature from the MODIS satellite sensor. You can do this with the GLOBE Visualization page. On the GLOBE webpage (http://globe.gov), go under GLOBE Data and Visualize Data. Then, click on the blue bar that says Enter the Visualization System. 

Surface temperatures in the Saudi Arabia are the hottest and can be explained by the fact that much of Saudi Arabia is a desert. The observations in Croatia and Greece are further north and fall into the temperate climate zoon and are cooler.


 

Here is some great data from Greece showing the observations from 5 schools.
