Study on Urban Heat Island Effects and Its Associated Surface Indicators
城市群热岛时空特征与地表生物物理参数的关系研究

This study assesses surface urban heat island(UHI) and its associated surface physical characteristics using remote sensing approaches.TERRA/MODIS images acquired in 2005 in three different seasons were selected to generate land surface temperature and surface characteristics for the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan metropolitan area in China.The intensity of urban heat island effects and its seasonal variations were examined.The result showed that UHI effects were significant both in the summer and the spring.Lan...
