Urban-Small Building Complex Environment: Comparing Stable Patterns from Two Similar Urban Field Studies, Volume AS-1

Abstract

The urban stability cycles are not clearly defined. This technical report investigates the urban stability cycle through the use of statistical and empirical observations. These observations are gleaned from two independent urban data sets acquired around a common building complex. The text includes the general features of the test site and a description of the two data sets: WSMR 2003 Urban Study (W03US) and WSMR 2005 Urban Study (W05US). Earlier research found both rural and urban-city stability cycles in the W03US data, which led to a characterization of stable conditions from the W05US data. The W05US stable patterns are the baseline for the W03US and W05US stable pattern spatial and temporal comparisons reported in this document. An executable Test Plan concludes the text and represents the next step toward characterizing the urban stability patterns and defining the diurnal urban-stability cycles.
