Abstract

The phenomenon of high temperature in the city relative to the suburbs is known as the urban heat island effect (UHI). This research explores the new possibilities offered by designing a lightweight, battery-powered sensor system communicating through Long Range Wide Area Networks (LoRa WAN) for studying the UHI. By coupling the sensor records to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, we explore the potential for informing UHI to policy makers to tailor adaptative and mitigative strategies to local environments. This paper presents evidence for applying LoRaWAN sensors to measure spatial variation of local climate, based on a sensor deployment in East London.
