Default Is it colder at the approach end of the runway?

Well, sometimes things that are common knowledge are incorrect.

Jose, you sound like your buddy MX. When I returned from luch today I walked
from a concrete parking lot over about 10 feet of grass to enter the
building. I did not need airborne equipment to tell me it was warmer over
the concrete than it was over the grass.


hehehe, I'm sure that's true. My guess is that they are trying to
quantify the effect, maybe even come up with a formula to predict the
effect on temps by cities. They also mentioned that some roofing
material appears to bring more heat than others and that it may affect
the cities temps.
