Title:

The Effect of Weather Changes on Air and Road Surface Temperatures

Abstract:

The objective of this study is to focus on weather changes and how long it takes for the air and the road surface to adjust to new conditions. During a change from clear to overcast condition, large temperature variations can develop and that is the reason why this situation has been chosen for this case study. Futhermore, the importance of different siting will be investigated.
