The differents characteristics of ground covering in the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region, where regions with high percentage of asphalt and concrete are surrounded for rural areas, determine the appearance of a temperature horizontal gradient knowledge as urban heat island phenomenon. Besides, diverse scientific works have demonstrated the influence of the mesoescale atmospheric circulation and synoptic scale in the urban heat island formation and dissipation. The main subjetive of study consists in analyze from simulated results, with the mesoescale model MM5, and observacionals data, the influence of synoptic systems and locals characteristics of the RMRJ in the formation and dissipation of urban heat island.

Abstract The global temperature trends provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology are artificially exaggerated due to subjective and unidirectional adjustments of recorded values. The present paper aims to promote the use of the raw stations’ data corrected only for urban heat island formation. The longer temperature records of Australia exhibit significant oscillations with a strong quasi-60 years’ signature of downward phases 1880 to 1910, 1940 to 1970 and 2000 to present, and upwards phases 1910 to 1940 and 1970 to 2000. A longer oscillation with downward phase until 1910 and an upwards phase afterwards is also detected. The warming since 1910 occurred at a nearly constant rate. Over the full length of the long Australian records since the end of the 1800s, there is no sign of warming or increased occurrence of extreme events. The monthly highest and mean maximum temperatures do not exhibit any positive trend. The differences between monthly highest and lowest, or monthly mean maximum and mean minimum temperatures, are all reducing because of urban heat island formation.
