I'm glad I don't live at the airport

Scientists are puzzling over why temperatures at the Huntsville International Airport are routinely warmer than temperatures in surrounding communities. During the summer of 2010, daily maximum temps at the airport's automated weather station averaged more than one degree F warmer than other stations in North Alabama. That included some relatively urban stations, such as the one at UAHuntsville. The airport thermometer has been tested and is accurate, so the question now is whether airport expansion has created an isolated "heat island." That could mean data from the HIA station is no longer representative of the larger area and has reduced value for tracking both local weather and climate change.
