| Abstract: | Urban heat island intensity is stronger and air quality poorer under a chinook than under nonchinook weather. These discrepancies are explained in part by the observed differences in wind pattern, atmospheric stability, and mixing depth associated with these weather conditions. Heat island intensity appears to be reinforced by poor air quality in chinook weather. |
