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...
This study was based on two Landsat TM/ETM+ images acquired in 1996 and 2003 respectively and some necessary ground-based meteorological data. The surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL) has been used in this thesis to extract the information of evapotranspiration. The urban heat island and urban expansion of the area were also extracted and related to the information of evapotranspiration...
