Precise and reliable land cover data is of fundamental importance in a weather and climate model. Accurate representation of land surface properties directly affects the calculation precision of simulation through energy interactive between land surface and atmosphere. In this study, the impacts of urbanization on precipitation during a heavy rain process are investigated and analyzed in Beijing area...
In this article, Weather Research and Forecast Model (WRF) is coupled with the optimal urban parameterization scheme to study the impact of land cover change in Nanjing on Urban Heat Island (UHI). Results show that urbanization intensifies surface air temperature over the region, with the intensity of UHI increased. After urbanization, wind speed over the downtown decreases rapidly, while Urban Heat...
The land use and land cover changes have been issues for better understanding human-land relations and sustainable development of regional land sources. This paper was to analyze the land use and land cover changes in new land around Bohai bay with crisp ecosystem and fast development during last 20 years with RS and GIS taking Guangrao county as a case study. In this study, two Landsat TM images...
Space borne imaging spectrometry provides spectral information which can be used to extract parameters of interest in monitoring regional environmental remediation initiatives. The environment surrounding the City of Greater Sudbury in Ontario Canada has been affected by deposition of sulphur-dioxide and metals from a century of smelting operations. Impacts have been noted up to 100 km downwind of...
