Micro Climate Maps







This map is a selection of data points from our entire class for the campus of UWEC.  Each point has specific data that each student collected such as temperature, dew point, wind speed, and wind direction.  This map is virtually useless because each group of students collected data at different times of the day or on different days completely.  This causes a problem because weather in our climate can change drastically in a matter of an hour or two.


This is a micro climate map of our campus depicting temperature variations throughout campus.  The larger dots symbolize warmer temperatures while the small dots represent colder temperatures.  It appears most of our warmest temperatures occured across the river from campus and even on the walking bridge over the Chippewa River.

This is a micro climate map of UWEC's campus.  The data depicted here are dew point readings.  It appears that the greatest dew point levels occured on upper campus.  The lowest ones occured on lower campus, the walking bridge, and across the river by Haas and Water Street.




 
This micro climate maps shows wind speeds recorded around UWEC's campus.  The highest wind speeds were recorded on upper campus and across the footbridge.  Some of the lower wind speeds were recorded between buildings on lower campus and in populated subdivisions just off campus.



This is the kriging clipped map of our temperature data from UWEC's campus.  The orange and yellow colors depict warmer temperatures while the blue and green colors are areas of colder temperatures.  Our group could have covered a little more ground on campus in order to get a better idea of the micro climate of campus as a whole
This is the micro climate map for the dew point readings our group gathered.  As you can see the highest dew point readings came from upper campus.  The lowest dew point readings came from right around the river and parts of lower campus.



This is our wind speed micro climate Kriging map.  Wind speeds were not very high on the day that we gathered data around most of campus.  A lot of the low wind speeds came from lower campus and around neighborhoods.  The one area that did record some higher wind speeds was on and around the walking bridge.
