"As a young statistician [...], I wanted to orient my research toward meteorology or climatology. I discovered by chance urban climatology, and I saw this as a great opportunity to improve my skills in geostatistics. In particular, the urban heat island is a spatiotemporal phenomenon with high stakes. It is now urgent to work with local authorities to rethink the city of the future to cope with climate change."
— Eva Marquès (Université de Toulouse, Météo-France, CNRS), whose BAMS article looks at how private car thermometers provide a new crowdsensing source of urban temperatures. Read more of her interview in your November print or

AMS Glossary Word of the Month

A measure (or condition) of height, especially of great height, as a mountain top or aircraft flight level.
In meteorology, altitude is used almost exclusively with respect to the height of an airborne object above the earth's surface, above a constant-pressure surface, or above mean sea level. The measurement of altitude is accomplished by altimeters in aeronautics, and the entire study is called altimetry. Learn more »
