Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Linear Model for Moving Measurements Estimation in Urban Climate StudiesClaudia Cotrim Pezzuto, Lucila Chebel Labaki, Lia Toledo Moreira Mota, Alexandre Alexandre de Assis MotaProblem statement: Several methods can be adopted to study the variations in urban climate. The mobile measurement method is one of them, involving information provided by moving measurements of air temperature, that are taken in points defined along pre-established routes and also data from fixed-point temperature recording stations. Because moving measurements are made in different times along the measurement process, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,038 accessesView PDF Cite
