Fig. 3: Overview of surface temperature measurements for all areas and times.
From: Evidence-based guidance on reflective pavement for urban heat mitigation in Arizona
Car transect-derived surface temperature panel for all neighborhoods, transects, and traverses in box-whisker plots. Center line = median; box limits = upper and lower quartiles; whiskers = 1.5x interquartile range; points = outliers. Asphalt concrete, AC (orange), and reflective pavement, RP (purple), surface temperature distribution and the statistical significance of the difference between those surface types is shown: ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05. Note: The infrared temperature monitor failed during the noon measurements in Garfield, however, data from the MaRTy cart downward facing infrared sensor were used for surface temperature comparisons. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
