I don't see anywhere in TFA where it's implied that the temperature drops as an average, or that somehow it extends past the green area. I feel like you've been misled by a strawman that you created yourself.
- nottorp 3y agoEmpirically, it extends a tiny bit past the green area. When I go for walks in summer in my city, it's noticeable how the temperature drops while on the sidewalk when I walk past a green area as opposed to past a building.
- cnity 3y agoThermodynamically it must. High temperature will flow towards low temperature areas like a heat-sink, where it is cooled by the shade and vapour.
- ako 3y agoIt’s actually the opposite. High temperature air rises (by expanding and becoming less dense), the void is filled with low temperature air. So a colder forest will start a wind outward of the forest towards the warmer areas, thereby distributing the colder air into the surrounding area.
- cnity 3y agoServes me right for thinking two-dimensionally!
