Canopies influence surface temperatures

Caption

The fish eye images of the sky above a park (right) and a residential area (left) around Lone Peak park in the Salt Lake Valley in Utah, United States, have different canopy coverage--the park has more open sky than in the residential areas. The canopies influence the different ground surface temperatures.
