LOCAL STORY
D.C. heat stagnates Baltimore's air
(Baltimore, MD)- Hot air rises off the
capital's buildings, pavement, blows north and gets trapped
here. When scientists manipulated the computer model to see
what would happen if Washington, its buildings and pavement were
magically replaced by trees, the heat island effect in Baltimore was
reduced by 25 percent. Temperatures dropped by as much as 2.7 degrees
Fahrenheit.
