ASU's Urban Microclimatology
Started: Mar 31 at 11:16pm
Quiz Instructions
Scientific research outlines a method of observation and analysis, and
categorizes the knowledge gained from the process. The scientific method
provides a logical structure to solve difficult problems, and the first step in the
process involves identifying that problem which you seek to study. The
research question states the problem in question form, which then guides the
direction and scope of the study.
Using field observations and descriptive statistical analyses, you will seek to
answer the following research question:
How does the spatial variability of microclimates change on the ASU campus near Stauffer
Hall?
Part I. Hypothesis A hypothesis is an educated “guess” as to the outcome of the research, and is usually expressed as a
statement. Thus, the hypothesis is a tentative assumption, designed to build a logical conclusion from
the research question.
Example Research Question: What happens to trees in California during times of drought?
Example Hypothesis: Most trees in California drop their leaves in times of drought.
Part II. Methods and Data Collection
To answer the research question for this exercise, you will measure surface temperatures, air
temperatures, atmospheric humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and elevation. The temperature and
humidity of the air are measured using a Kestrel DROP.
Wind speed is measured using a handheld anemometer. The handheld anemometer reports wind
speed in miles per hour or knots as a function of the rotation of the impeller. You must orient the
anemometer facing the direction that the wind is coming from to receive an accurate reading.
An infrared thermometer (IRT) records the amount of infrared radiation emitted from an object. The
Earth’s longwave radiation is emitted entirely in the infrared band, so measuring the infrared radiation
of a surface quantifies the temperatures of terrestrial surfaces.

An IR camera is a device that forms an image using infrared radiation. You will use the camera to take
infrared photos of the study sites. These photos will help you determine how much thermal energy is
being emitted by the elements of the micro climate at each study site.
Use the list of locations to find each study site, perform and record observations using your Kestrel
DROP, anemometer, infrared thermometer, and IR camera. Since the average surface temperature
directly impacts the air temperature, record four surface temperatures at each observation site. Also
record the types of surface materials associated with the surface temperature observations.
Part III. Analysis Descriptive statistics are one of the simplest ways to quantitatively describe and analyze data. The
mean, median, mode, percentile, range, and standard deviation are the most commonly used
numerical descriptive statistics.
The mean is often identified as the average and is the sum of all observations divided by the number
of observations. The mean is a measure of central tendency, and can be skewed by extremely large
or small values in the sample. The median is the middle point of the data, and is determined through
ordering the observations from smallest to the largest, then identifying the observation in the middle of
the sequence. If the number of observations in the sample is even, then the two middle observations
are summed, then divided by two to determine the median. If the number of observations in the
sample is odd, the middle value is the median. The median is a measure of central tendency, and is
more robust to large or small values in the sample. The range is simply the difference between the
largest observation and smallest observation.
