“…The emissivity of water pixels is assigned to 0.995. The emissivity of construction land and ground surface is calculated according to formulas (11), (12) and (13) [50]. For a simple calculation, NDV I soil is defined as 0, and NDV I veg is defined as 0.7.…”

Abstract:In this paper, we present surface urban heat island (SUHI) analysis of Shanghai (China) based on the change in land use and land cover using satellite Landsat images from 2002 to 2013. With the rapid development of urbanization, urban ecological and environmental issues have aroused widespread concern. The urban heat island (UHI) effect is a crucial problem, as its generation and evolution are closely related to social and economic activities. Land-use and land-cover change (LUCC) is the key in analyzing the UHI effect. Shanghai, one of China's major economic, financial and commercial centers, has experienced high development density for several decades. A tremendous amount of farmland and vegetation coverage has been replaced by an urban impervious surface, leading to an intensive SUHI effect, especially in the city's center. Luckily, the SUHI trend has slowed due to reasonable urban planning and relevant green policies since the 2010 Expo. Data analyses demonstrate that an impervious surface (IS) has a positive correlation with land surface temperature (LST) but a negative correlation with vegetation and water. Among the three factors, impervious surface is the most relevant. Therefore, the policy implications of land use and control of impervious surfaces should pay attention to the relief of the current SUHI effect in Shanghai.Keywords: surface urban heat island (SUHI); land-use and land-cover change (LUCC); land surface temperature (LST); Shanghai; NDVI; MNDWI

The Urban Heat Island phenomenon modelling and analysis as an adaptation of Maghreb cities to climate change

Abstract:The modeling of the urban microclimate, in particular the phenomenon of the Urban Heat Island (UHI), is becoming increasingly essential for city planning and urban design. The phenomenon analysis is henceforth possible thanks to the increase in computational power, the link between simulation tools and urban databases, which allow to represent explicitly the characteristics of the urban microclimate and to better understand its effects, through the analysis and evaluation of the different impacts of the urban climatic or anthropogenic contributors (urban morphology, land use, building sites, albedo, ...). However, the choice of the scaleof the study depends on a balance between the precision of the modeling, the capacities of calculation and the availability and reliability of the data.The UHI phenomenon has been the subject of several research studies in the European countries since the 2000s. Thispaper focuses mainly on the description of the phenomenon, the different methodsused to evaluate and modeled its impacts, using some approaches for mitigating these ones.The contribution aims to highlight the phenomenon of the UHI based on a bibliographic study of the latest research on this topic in Maghreb cities.The state of art focuses on the progress made during the last 15 years taking into account the UHI in the different strategies for adapting cities to climate change and for improving their resilience.

“…Several studies have subsequently demonstrated that the level temperature measurement at the streets did not matter because the air temperature varies little in the street when it is more than one meter from the walls or the road [2,3].In the literature, the UHI observation methods listed are based on: collecting statistics data of the temperature difference between urban and rural meteorological stations [4,5,6]; tendency study of temperature for a meteorological station whose environment is urbanized [7,8,9]; comparison of the temperature trend observed for several stations whose environment evolves differently [10]; observation by means of a network of fixed stations [11], observation along a path using vehicle [12]. Numerous studies show that city centres that concentrate large quantities of buildings, economic activities and leave less space for vegetation and stretch of water are more affected by the UHI impacts [13].…”
