UCSD has established a unique network of stations to monitor environmental conditions on campus
for the Decision Making using Real time Observations for Environmental Systems (DEMROES) project (Dominguez et al., 2007) that provided the microclimatic information and measurement infrastructure necessary for this work. Furthermore, as the campus is reminiscent of suburban environments, perceptions are not subject to the urban versus rural dichotomy that could lead to location being the parameter controlling perception, rather than air quality levels
themselves
