Rjay Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Ok I'll take your word for it. How is it THAT much colder though? You make a good point in the other thread though, last night FOK only got down to around 3, pretty similar to surrounding stations. I'm telling you it makes no sense to only be off on clear nights with calm winds. I see a couple other stations on wunderground between -3 and -6. There has to be a good explaination. Maybe a met can explain why kfox radiates so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjay Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Actually this has been the topic of debate for many years. The Pine Barrens radiate excellent as well. Yes I know this. But our discussion is on why kfox radiates better than anywhere else in the surrounding area. Hopefully someone can shed some light on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjay Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 To be honest, I'm not sure about that. The southern NJ pine barrens radiate very well. Many reports of places below zero tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone can shed some light on it.Several of my professors discussed this topic. One theory was the sand which was underneath the area. Exceedingly porous, allows quickest of ground and thermal heating. Others abound, but none of them gave any concrete answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Interesting. I have heard the sand explaination before. Thanks for responding. Yea, that's actually really fascinating. Maybe the ground at FOK is more sandy than elsewhere (away from the water)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
