While numerous studies have examined the magnitude of the urban heat island, no large-scale study has yet analyzed its variability using an air-mass based methodology. The air-mass approach can provide unique insight by discerning how large-scale weather patterns may impact the magnitude of the heat island effect. This study utilizes the Spatial Synoptic Classification (SSC) scheme, a recently-...
