Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Urban Heat Island of Nantong City Based on TM/ETM+ Images

Abstract:

A direct result of the urban heat island's intensification of Nantong is the accelerated process of urbanization in recent years. In order to analyze spatial and temporal distribution of urban heat island of Nantong City, adiative transfer equation was used to inversion surface temperature of Nantong based on 2001 and 2005TM / ETM + remote sensing images. The results are divided into six grades and temperature level distribution diagram and temperature area ratio statistics were outputted. By the analysis of temperature rating maps and temperature area ratio statistics, it showed that the heat island effect mainly occure in the central city of Nantong from 2001 to 2005. The range of heat island increase and the intensity also increase. The heat island grows in the central urban and the intensity of heat island of other parts is from weak to strong.
