Taking the city of Xiamen, China, as an example, we used thermal infrared remote sensing to detect thermal pollution, and examined its relationship to energy consumption and the industrial economy. Monthly changes in 2002 and dynamics throughout the period of rapid urbanization (1987–2007) are analysed. It is found that seasonal variation led to distinct shapes and sizes of thermal pollution areas,...
This study quantitatively analyzed the seasonal dynamics of urban heat island (UHI) in Xiamen City, using Landsat TM/ETM+ thermal images acquired on 5 different dates in the year 2002. Landscape metrics were utilized to quantify the changes, including PLAND, PD, CA, NP, P-UHI, NP-UHI, TA-UHI, PD-UHI etc. Results showed that, August UHI was spatially intensive in not only total area, but also the extent...
