Preliminary data from the shadow study.
Malcolm Morrison, Neil McLaughlin. January 11, 2023
The following data represents the amount of shade cast by one 26 storey building
located at the west corner of 780 Baseline Road. Taller buildings will result in more
shade and so will more buildings. To date there are three buildings proposed for the
site, one 32 and two 29 storeys. Once the engineer has checked his work we can then
examine the number of sunshine hours reduced on our land as well as the surrounding
area.
On the figure the blue shows where shadows occur for 365 days of the year. Red near
the building is long duration shadows. The white arcs some distance from the building
are due to the low resolution of the sun elevation angle (one degree) in the sun position
data set. At very low sun elevation angles, a one degree change in sun elevation has a
substantial effect on the length of the shadow or distance from the building to the tip of
the shadow. The grid resolution is presently 10 m x 10 m which gives some white spots
in the blue. The grid resolution will increase in the future to improve the resolution.
This is preliminary data and is in the process of being checked over. The absolute time
in shadow needs to be verified but the shape of the shadow cast by a 26 storey building
at the west corner of Fisher and Baseline development is correct.
The total area of blue is the landscape that is under shadow in minutes at some time of
the day and sometime of the year. Blue is low shadow time, white is medium and red is
high according to the scale at the side. The shadow numbers are total minutes per year
that are in shadow. With better resolution, there would be no white spots in the blue
area except where the blue transitions to red.
The top extremity which is parabolic shaped represents the extent of the shadow at the
winter solstice. The very bottom of the curve just a few m east of the zero line is the
shadow position at noon on December 21.
The bottom left straight edge is sunrise at the summer solstice, and the bottom right
straight edge is sunset at the summer solstice.
A day started when the sun elevation was one degree above the horizon which is a few
minutes after sun rise and before sunset. The sun occupies about one half degree in the
sky, It takes four minutes for the earth to rotate one degree.
The heat maps are not all that great as it is really difficult to see the change in intensity
of the color. From the figure below we can see that the apartment will result in
significant shading of CEF farm fields, likely more in spring to early summer and late
summer through fall. The shading is extensive due to the size of the building.
001417

In future we will be dividing the land into polygons and will be able to determine how
much shade is received in each field and how much sunlight is reduced during the
growing season.

Shading of Central Experimental Farm Lands by Towers at 780 Baseline Road.
Dr. Neil McLaughlin, Dr. Malcolm Morrison
January 24, 2023
The following data represents the amount of shade cast by two 29 storey buildings and
one 29 storey tower located at 780 Baseline Road. It must be stressed that these are
preliminary graphs to show the extent and amount of shade cast during a growing
season on the farm.
The shade study done by the developer for the spring, summer and winter solstice days
is presented at the following site. The drawback to the study is that is picks specific
times of day and does not trace the continuous shadow created by the sun each minute
of the day. The diagrams are also truncated so they do not show the full extent of the
building’s shadow.

The Ottawa Research and Development Centre on the CEF breeds spring and winter
wheat, barley, oats, soybean and corn. Farmers in Canada grow the varieties
developed here, which feed Canadians and add to our Agricultural GDP.
The research lands west of Fisher Avenue to Merivale Road are considered some of the
best lands on the Central Experimental Farm for genetic research and crop breeding.
The lands are uniform in texture and fertility, well drained by a series of underground
tiles, and predominantly flat. They are well suited for the small plot research they are
used for. The Google Earth photo in Figure 1 was taken in early September and most of
the cereal research plots had been removed. The small rectangles of green that can be
seen are likely soybean plots which are not harvested until mid-October.
It must be remembered that this is small plot research. Each small plot represents a
potential new variety. The large area of land directly east of Fisher Avenue is
predominantly used for hay for the Canadian Agricultural Museum.
The model to calculate the amount of shade received on a polygon of land was based
on the time of year and the time of day. The day of the year corresponds the position of
the sun on the horizon, the sunrise and sunset and its position in its arc across the sky.
Cloudless conditions were assumed. The shadow cast by the sun is a factor of its
position in the sky and the height of the tower. A day started when the sun elevation
was one degree above the horizon, which is a few minutes after sun rise and before
sunset. The polygon resolution is presently 10 m x 10 m. This will improve in later
versions of the program.
001421

Figure 1. Aerial view of the Central Experimental farm lands west of Fisher Avenue affected by
shade cast from proposed residential towers at 780 Baseline Road.
Growing season shade calculation were made from April 1 through to November 30.
There were several reasons behind examining the effect of shade during these months.
Winter crops, such as winter wheat, are planted in September, grow extensively
during the fall, remain dormant under the snow and then regrow early in the
spring months to be harvested in late July. Therefore, sunshine in the fall and
spring are a requirement for winter crops.
Spring sun melts and evaporates snow cover, and warms and dries the soil. Dry
soils are required to cultivate the land and then plant spring crops. Delay in
planting results in decreased plant health, a shift of flowering to a hotter period of
the year increased heat sterility and delaying maturity and harvest.
Sunlight is used by microorganisms responsible for nutrient cycling on a yearly
basis.
Areas coloured in blue and red on the shade graphs correspond to the minutes of shade
cast on a polygon of land. Dark blue is the least amount of shade and red the most.
The shadow numbers are total minutes per year that are in shadow. This is cumulative
over time.
At very low sun elevation angles, a one degree change in sun elevation has a
substantial effect on the length of the shadow or distance from the building to the tip of
the shadow. At 5 degrees above the horizon on the winter solstice a 100 m building
casts a 1 km long shadow.
001422

This is preliminary data and is in the process of being verified. The absolute time in
shadow needs to be verified but the shape of the shadow cast by a building at the
corner of Fisher and Baseline development is correct.
The proposed towers at 780 Baseline will cause substantial shading on prime research
lands on the Central Experimental Farm.

shade with darkest blue being the lowest and red the highest amount of cumulative shade.
Future research will divide the area into field size polygons and the amount of shade
received in each field will be used with the average hours of net radiation to calculate
the percent reduction on a seasonal basis.

I have an engineer as an HRA and I will ask him today if he can calculate this from April to November. I can get the
average light in watts/m2 so that we can attenuate it by the shading factor. I will CC you.

Hi Malcom,
Good observation, I've asked if anything from December to June is available, stay tuned.
I'm in the process of establishing a standing offer for these types of resources to conduct our own studies and review of
city proposals to make our interest are protected and all aspects considered. Short answer is yes we'll have a budget for
these things however might not be later until this fall.

Hi Eric
Please note the data provided by the company is for the June 21, the longest day of the year when the
sun is at the highest elevation. It will take me time to determine the effect of sunlight reduction pre and
post June 21since the crops are planted in mid to late April and can be harvested as late as October.
Are there funds to engage independent contractors for this?

Good afternoon Malcolm,
You'll find attached the shadow study prepared as part of the fisher/baseline development.
There are 3 drawings, June, September and December, it appears most of the shadows are done by
10/11am. Can you review and provide the impacts to programs?

Good morning to you all,
Thanks for the discussion last week, and to Maria for your clear comments. See below what I suggest
sharing with the City - I've tried to take the concerns from Maria's comments and our discussion, and
orient them as matters that are within the City's purview to achieve through this application and other
processes.
Please let me know if you agree or would make any changes to the below. Once you're content with
these, I suggest we share them with the City's planner on the file and I'll set up a meeting with her for
the week of July 11th. I am currently free for any time on the 14th - do you have any obligations currently
booked for that day?
Thanks,
Ted
Impact on land:
1. The lands owned by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) west of Fisher Avenue and north
of Baseline Road, being the lands across Baseline from the proposed development, is some of
the best research land on the Central Experimental Farm (CEF). The land is flat, tile drained and
used primarily by plant breeders to produce new varieties of wheat, oat, soybean and
barley. The soil is a fertile clay loam.
2. The CEF is both a national historic site and an active agricultural research facility.
3. While we recognize that Baseline Road is a Mainstreet Corridor in the City's new Official Plan,
and that the City's Transportation Master Plan includes the Baseline Road Rapid Transit Corridor
which will bring further development in proximity to the CEF, we encourage the City to consider
holistically the impacts of development on the CEF, and to use its development review
processes to limit the impacts to the CEF.
4. The 26 and 29 storey apartments will cast a shadow on these lands from May through to
September from the hours of dawn to noon each day. The total amount of light will be reduced
on a daily basis. This will impact the agricultural operations of the CEF, and reduce the best and
optimal use of the land.
o Request: We request the City consider through this application and future development
along Baseline, what site and building design elements (e.g. orientation, floorplate size)
can be employed to limit shadowing on the CEF.
3
001428

5. In addition to shadow, the construction of underground parking for the apartments may affect
water table levels in the area, and potentially causing drainage issues on the CEF land.
o Request: At the time of a future application for site plan approval, we request the City
have the proponent prepare a groundwater impact study by a professional qualified in
hydrology and agrology to ensure there are no impacts to the water table that will affect
the CEF.
Traffic/Pedestrian Flow on CEF due to increase in urban development:
6. Informal and unauthorized access across the CEF (i.e. foot traffic cutting through planted fields,
and not along formal road and pathways) is a constant operational challenges at the CEF. The
CEF has a history of installing fencing along Baseline in this area, only to see it cut and
pedestrians crossing through. Increased population density along the CEF's edges will lead to
increases in this activity.
7. While the current application is not responsible for providing CEF fencing or active
transportation connections outside of its site, the City and AAFC share the objectives of the
success of the CEF and providing appropriate opportunities for residents to pass by and through
the CEF without negative impact to the agricultural operations.
o Request: We request that the City, in coordination with AAFC and the NCC, conduct a
study of pedestrian and cyclist travel demand across the CEF and propose measures to
improve, formalize, and limit pathways to the designated and appropriate areas of
access, supported with proper directional signage along the CEF.

Hi Ted,
AAFC's comments below regarding the proposed development of high rise towers on
Fisher/Baseline. Looking forward to our discussion this afternoon.
Impact on land:
• AAFC land west of Fisher Avenue and north of Baseline Road is some of the best research land
on the CEF. The land is flat, tile drained and used primarily by plant breeders to produce new
varieties of wheat, oat, soybean and barley. The soil is a fertile clay loam. The 26 and 29 storey
apartments will cast a shadow on these lands from May through to September from the hours
of dawn to noon each day. The total amount of light will be reduced on a daily basis. This will
reduce the best and optimal use of the land.
• In addition to shadow, the construction of underground parking for the apartments may affect
water table levels in the area, and potentially causing drainage issues on the CEF land.
• Challenge to maintain a designated historic site, greenery/picturesque landscape may be
impacted.
4
001429

55 z
• More than 1000 units are proposed for the area which will increase the amount of foot traffic
and dog walkers, as well as vehicle traffic increase along Fisher Avenue, Pedestrian/bicycle/dog
walkers/vehicular traffic are constant operational challenges at the CEF and these new
developments will only exacerbate the ongoing issues. The following should be considered:
1) "Traffic flow Study" to assess volumes/management/mitigation measures
2) "Pedestrian Flow Study" - Multi Use Pathway requirements across the CEF site to
address populous impact to ongoing site Science activities. This will also allow for the
proper funneling of the pedestrian/bicycle traffic to the designated and appropriate
areas of access, supported with proper directional signage along the CEF.
Site Security Management/Enforcement:

Good afternoon Joel and Cory,
I hope you're both doing well as summer arrives.
You may have received the below circulation under separate cover, or
you may receive it through your mailroom when the City mails out
notices. It is a development application at the corner of Baseline and
Fisher, adjacent to the CEF. Per our request, the City has obliged the
proponent to prepare a shadow study and a Cultural Heritage Impact
Study that responds to the Commemorative Integrity Statement for the
CEF.
Would you kindly let me know if AAFC intends to provide any comments
to the City regarding this proposed development? I am glad coordinate
our feedback (if any), or to be of any assistance to you.
Best regards,
Ted

Hi Malcolm
Progress on the shadow calculations was not as hoped. The big problem is finding
time to spend on it. I have a lot of other projects on the go, and as I should know by
now, everything takes a lot longer than expected. Originally, I was reluctant to commit
for this very reason. After thinking about it for a while, I saw it as a challenge, and dug
into the problem, but I still have the time issue, and I can not commit to a completion
time. All I can say is that I am working on it, and from a technical aspect, I can see my
way through it. What is your time frame?
I got a bit of a set back when equations for the sun position published by NOAA
(National Ocean and Atmosphere Administration), a US Government agency, did not
work. Not sure whether the problem was mine or theirs. I am in the process of looking
for a new set of equations. There is lots of stuff on the internet, but I do not trust most
of it, I am currently working my way through a few official sources.
I have a couple of algorithms thought out for the shadow calculation, the second one is
much more efficient and simpler than the first. I have the second algorithm partly
coded, but not yet to the point where I can start debugging and refining it.
Calculation of the shadow location is conceptually simple, even elementary, but the
coding gets a bit involved when you try to calculate and sum up all situations. The
shadow shape, size and orientation all vary with building attributes, the time of day and
day of year. I think my latest algorithm will accommodate all of these with a series of
nested loops. To make things more complicated, the sun and shadows travel in the
opposite direction (clockwise) as standard angle conventions for trigonometry functions
(counter clockwise) so one has to really pay attention to signs of the angles and
trigonometry functions.
Thanks for the radiation data you sent me a couple of weeks ago. I assume these data
are in some sort of energy units, micro Einsteins, Joules, kilowatt hours or something
like that. If so, I do not think they will be of much use. All I can do with the shadow
i
001436

s.19(1)
calculations is determine the percentage of time (percentage of a given time interval)
that a given point or points on the ground will be in the building shadow, assuming
bright sunshine and no cloud cover. The radiant energy data are affected by time of
year, time of day, and atmospheric conditions including clouds, overcast etc. There is
probably some sort of correlation, but to go from percentage of time in the building
shadow to reduction in radiant energy is another complete study. We could probably
do it given enough time and appropriate data sets.
In the old days, I recall a weather station instrument to record hours of sunshine. It was
basically a paper chart wrapped around a glass sphere. When the sun was shining, the
glass sphere acted as a lens, focused the sun rays on the paper, and burnt a strip in
the paper as the sun moved across the sky. The charts were replaced each day, and
the hours of sunshine were calculated from manual measurements of the lengths of
the burnt strips. There must be some sort of modern day equivalent system where the
hours of sunshine are recorded automatically. Do you know if one exists at the CEF
weather station?
If we had hours and time of day for sunshine data, then it should be possible to estimate reduction in sunshine imparted
by the buildings. This could be a simple statistical estimate, or with a little additional effort, simulate the presence of the
buildings for the time period that sunshine data were available and get
an exact reduction for that particular time period. There certainly are a lot of directions that
one could take with this.

Hi Neil
This week I had to answer a letter addressed to the minister regarding the shade cast by the towers on
AAFC land.
I mentioned that we were working on developing better figures on light reduction.
I am hoping that you are getting close.
If there is anything else I can help you with please let me know.

Re: Apartments.
Hi Malcolm;
I have overcome the last hurdle and worked out a fairly simple 'mental1 algorithm for calculating the
cumulative shadows for an arbitrary time period at each point on an arbitrary grid surrounding the
development. Once we have the data for a grid, it should be fairly straight forward to overlay polygons
to and assign the appropriate data to each polygon. SAS is up an running so now it is matter of
writing and debugging all of the code. Actually, it is not that bad, just need some time. My plan is to
supply all of the input parameters such as time period, time step grid size etc. via an Excel file
Can you give me the coordinates of the polygons on the CEF you sent me? I need to have the
location of polygons referenced in some way to the location of the buildings. I think that I can get the
building dimensions and location relative to some points on baseline, maybe the white stripes, from
the application. I will need to be able to determine the location of the polygons relative to the same
points, and consequently, to the proposed buildings.
Maybe we could get UTM's or Lat Long (to sufficient precision) from Google Maps for some points on both the
application and the polygons and then match up the application and the polygons.
Are you preparing formal comments on the application? If so, what is the time frame?

Interesting problem. Roll back a few years, did AAFC not own that land at one time?
What is the time frame? I remember some discussion on shadows from a few years go, I forgot how

Hi Neil
Hope you are having a great summer.
I have an engineering problem.
Developers are building three apartments on the corner of Baseline and Fisher Ave.
One proposed is 29 stories and the other two 25 stories. I am not sure how high that is
or if there are other features on the apartments that add to the height. From what I have
observed there is always another 2 stories of mechanical on the roofs of the apartments
so say 31 and 27 stories. I am concerned that the apartments will shade the research
land across the street and the neighborhood to the east. The developer has given us a
i
001442

shading study for June 21, March and Dec. Of course June 21 would have the highest
sun angle so the shadows disappear quickly. My concern is April to Nov and the total
attenuation of sunlight on the research land.
Is there a way to calculate this on a timely ( 30 minute) basis based on height and mass
of the buildings, and sun angle. If we could figure this out we could model the light
attenuation over the crops. I can supply you with a 10 year solar radiation average for
the areas.
Let me know if this is something that you would like to tackle?
Thanks

Impact on land:
1. The lands owned by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) west of Fisher
Avenue and north of Baseline Road, being the lands across Baseline from the
proposed development, is some of the best research land on the Central
Experimental Farm (CEF). The land is flat, tile drained and used primarily by
plant breeders to produce new varieties of wheat, oat, soybean and barley. The
soil is a fertile clay loam.
1. The CEF is both a national historic site and an active agricultural research
facility.
1. While we recognize that Baseline Road is a Mainstreet Corridor in the City’s new
Official Plan, and that the City’s Transportation Master Plan includes the Baseline
Road Rapid Transit Corridor which will bring further development in proximity to
the CEF, we encourage the City to consider holistically the impacts of
development on the CEF, and to use its development review processes to limit
the impacts to the CEF.
1. The 26 and 29 storey apartments will cast a shadow on these lands from May
through to September from the hours of dawn to noon each day. The total
amount of light will be reduced on a daily basis. This will impact the agricultural
operations of the CEF, and reduce the best and optimal use of the land.
o Request: We request the City consider through this application and future
development along Baseline, what site and building design elements (e.g.
orientation, floorplate size) can be employed to limit shadowing on the
CEF.
1. In addition to shadow, the construction of underground parking for the
apartments may affect water table levels in the area, and potentially causing
drainage issues on the CEF land.
o Request: At the time of a future application for site plan approval, we
request the City have the proponent prepare a groundwater impact study
by a professional qualified in hydrology and agrology to ensure there are
no impacts to the water table that will affect the CEF.
1. Informal and unauthorized access across the CEF (i.e. foot traffic cutting through
planted fields, and not along formal road and pathways) is a constant operational
challenges at the CEF. The CEF has a history of installing fencing along Baseline
in this area, only to see it cut and pedestrians crossing through. Increased
population density along the CEF’s edges will lead to increases in this activity.
1. While the current application is not responsible for providing CEF fencing or
active transportation connections outside of its site, the City and AAFC share the
objectives of the success of the CEF and providing appropriate opportunities for
4
001445

residents to pass by and through the CEF without negative impact to the
agricultural operations.
o Request: We request that the City, in coordination with AAFC and the
NCC, conduct a study of pedestrian and cyclist travel demand across the
CEF and propose measures to improve, formalize, and limit pathways to
the designated and appropriate areas of access, supported with proper
directional signage along the CEF.

the CEF, we encourage the City to consider holistically the impacts of
development on the CEF, and to use its development review processes to limit
the impacts to the CEF.
1. The 26 and 29 storey apartments will cast a shadow on these lands from May
through to September from the hours of dawn to noon each day. The total
amount of light will be reduced on a daily basis. This will impact the agricultural
operations of the CEF, and reduce the best and optimal use of the land.
o Request: We request the City consider through this application and future
development along Baseline, what site and building design elements (e.g.
orientation, floorplate size) can be employed to limit shadowing on the
CEF.
1. In addition to shadow, the construction of underground parking for the
drainage issues on the CEF land.
o Request: At the time of a future application for site plan approval, we
request the City have the proponent prepare a groundwater impact study
by a professional qualified in hydrology and agrology to ensure there are
no impacts to the water table that will affect the CEF.
1. Informal and unauthorized access across the CEF (i.e. foot traffic cutting through
planted fields, and not along formal road and pathways) is a constant operational
challenges at the CEF. The CEF has a history of installing fencing along Baseline
in this area, only to see it cut and pedestrians crossing through. Increased
population density along the CEF’s edges will lead to increases in this activity.
1. While the current application is not responsible for providing CEF fencing or
active transportation connections outside of its site, the City and AAFC share the
objectives of the success of the CEF and providing appropriate opportunities for

I hope you’re both doing well as summer arrives.
You may have received the below circulation under separate
cover, or you may receive it through your mailroom when the
City mails out notices. It is a development application at the
corner of Baseline and Fisher, adjacent to the CEF. Per our
request, the City has obliged the proponent to prepare a
shadow study and a Cultural Heritage Impact Study that
responds to the Commemorative Integrity Statement for the
CEF.
Would you kindly let me know if AAFC intends to provide any
comments to the City regarding this proposed development?
I am glad coordinate our feedback (if any), or to be of any
assistance to you.

Re: FW: another version on maps.
Hi Malcom,
Excellent, you got it. I think my aspect ratio on the map is just a little off of exactly 1.0. Lexington and
Zena line up really well but Arnot is off by less than at street width which means that the x-scale
matches, but the y-scales of the two maps differ by a very small amount, probably less than 1%. I will
try and find a way to get the aspect ratio on the SAS output exactly 1.0. The error is small enough
that we can probably run with it,.

Proposed Zoning By¬

ATTENTION. Ce courriel provient de I'exterieur de I'organisation. Ne cliquez pas sur les liens et n’ouvrez pas les pieces
Hi Malcolm,
I had a quick look at the new site plan. Seems like the buildings are pretty much the same size as
before except 3 stories taller. The corner building has been rotated with the long side along Baseline
and the short side along Fisher. This means that the shadow duration directly across baseline will be
greater while east and west along baseline will be somewhat shorter. One would think that with a
major change like this would require a new proposal but it seems like the whole thing is being treated
as a minor amendment.
I recall reading in one development proposal something to the effect that shadows of tall buildings
'quickly pass' implying that they are of no concern. On another proposal where the building was at an
angle to the street, the statement was made that as you drive along the street, the building appears to
recede.
I just noticed on the email from the planner that comments were required by Dec. 14.
I will chip away at the software for the shadow calculations
as nme permns, I thought I had the sun position as
a function of time of day and day of year all worked out, but I discovered a slight problem and I have
to revisit it. I am trying to figure out how to use heat maps in the SAS Sgplot procedure. It is good for
depicting 3-D density functions such as shadow duration on a 2-D plane/ Once I get everything
working, I should be able to map out shadow durations as well as get numerical values for any given
point..

Re: FW: Towers
Neil
I am stumped. Yes, the DOY 91-334 map lines up perfectly with the satellite image. However in your previous email, the
two images have quite different aspect ratios which is really obvious when they are stacked on top of each other. There
is no way you can line them up if the aspect ratios are different short of changing the aspect ratio on one of them.
Different aspect ratios manifests in different scales in either the x or y directions between the two images, so if you get
one (x or y) to line up, the other will be off. I have no idea why, they were both run with the same program and the
plotting routine called for an aspect ratio of 1.0 in both cases. Do you want a rerun of the images from last night?.
he maps are useful in showing the
maximum extent or tne snaaows, out not very gooa at snowing nme in a shadow. That will come out
better when we assign numerical values to the polygons.

Hi Malcolm,
Have a look at the attached notes and new version of the heat map. I figured out how to use three
colors. If you are happy with it, I can quickly generate another one for the 45 m towers. I can quickly
generate some with other colors if you can give me an idea of what colors you want.
I used a Iog10 transform of the minutes in shade, this really spreads the colors out and makes it
easier to see how the time in shade varies over the area. The blue at the very low values does a good
job of defining the extremity of area affected by the shade.

Shading heat maps
February 09, 2023
At last, I think I had a little success with the heat maps. Here are the changes that I made.
1. The original calculations were done on a 4x4 m grid, but the heat map is based on mean data for
a 10x10 m grid.
2. I cut out an area 190 m x 170 m at the site of the towers. The area adjacent (a few m) to the
towers would be in shade most of the time and this added to the range in the time in shade for
the data set. The area adjacent to the towers is not really important for the farm. The fence for
the farm on the north side of Baseline is approximately 40 m from the towers. The area cut out
is obvious, it is the rectangular white area in the center.
3. I annotated three rectangles to represent the three towers. The are not exact, but they are
close.
4. I used three colors, blue (low), yellow (medium) and green (high). I tried a few different color
combinations and this one seemed to show the transition the best. That is my opinion, others
may have a different opinion.
5. The biggest change and the one that had the greatest impact is that I log transformed the
minutes in shade with the formula Iogl0_shade = Iogl0( minutes in shade + 1). The 1is
required to prevent taking log of zero (which is equal to minus infinity so that operation is not
allowed). Log of 1is zero so logl0(minutes in shade +1) = 0 when minutes in shade = 0.
The original time in shadow ranged from zero to somewhere around 50,000 minutes with most
of the area less than a few thousand minutes. With the previous linear scale of colors, most of
the area came out as blue and it was impossible to see any differences. With the log scale, the
range is about zero to five and there is a somewhat even distribution of colors. One can see the
general pattern of differences in shadow time.
I tried the three colors without the log transformation, and there was a very small improvement
over the two color scale in terms of ability to see the different shadow times, but nowhere near
the improvement achieved with the log transformation.
However, I think is the most
effective way of showing the pattern of variability.
One thing you can do in the figure caption is to draw attention to the log scale and explain it.
One corresponds to 10 minutes (101), two corresponds to 100 minutes (102), three corresponds
to 1000 minutes (103), four corresponds to 10,000 minutes (104) and five corresponds to
100,000 minutes (105). That is, time in shade is 10 raised to power of the number on the scale.
I purposely used log base 10 instead of the natural logarithm (base e) because it is likely that
more people would be familiar with log base 10. I purposely created the variable logl0_minutes
so that it would show up on the scale for the heat map.

Malcolm,
Here is an Excel file with the data in different grid sizes from 4 m to 100 m, different grids on different
sheets. It is the same format as I sent you earlier in the week, it should be self explanatory.
I am now working on trying different color regimes. I am planning on blocking out a section really
close to the buildings where the gradient is really high. That should help make the different colors for
the different values show up better.
