“…Therefore, it formed a highly significant negative relationship between the evapotranspiration anomaly (annual average) and urban area (r = −0.93, p < 0.01). This finding is derived from the fact that the evaporation capacity decreased as the surface became more impervious during the urbanization process [39]. It also confirms that the runoff increase is highly correlated with urban expansion [5].…”

Depletion of water resources has threatened water security in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, China. However, the relative importance of precipitation and urbanization to water storage change has not been sufficiently studied. In this study, both terrestrial water storage (TWS) and groundwater storage (GWS) change in Jing-Jin-Ji from 1979 to the 2010s were investigated, based on the global land data assimilation system (GLDAS) and the EartH2Observe (E2O) outputs, and we used a night light index as an index of urbanization. The results showed that TWS anomaly varied in three stages: significant increase from 1981 to 1996, rapid decrease from 1996 to 2002 and increase from 2002 to the 2010s. Simultaneously, GWS has decreased with about 41.5 cm (500% of GWS in 1979). Both urbanization and precipitation change influenced urban water resource variability. Urbanization was a relatively important factor to the depletion of TWS (explains 83%) and GWS (explains 94%) since the 1980s and the precipitation deficit explains 72% and 64% of TWS and GWS variabilities. It indicates that urbanization coupled with precipitation deficit has been a more important factor that impacted depletion of both TWS and GWS than climate change only, in the Jing-Jin-Ji region. Moreover, we suggested that the cumulative effect should be considered when discussing the relationship between influence factors and water storage change.

“…These methods provided a good support to describe the impacts of urbanization on surface climate rather than the impact mechanism of urbanization on surface climate. Metropolitan cities in China have shown the ''spread'' and ''aggressive'' expansion accompanied by regional urban development and megalopolis formation since the reform and opening up, resulting in increasing effects on climate change (Tang et al 2013). Sensitivity experiments of two-dimensional scale model showed that sensible heat fluxes caused by urban surface changes played a key role in climate change, and roughness changes affected the spatial heterogeneity of climate change.…”

“…It is urgent to develop a metric to quantify how urbanization affects the regional climate since the neglection of these effects will lead to inaccurate analysis results of climate change [4]. Besides, the metropolitan cities in China have shown the "spreading" and "aggressive" expansion accompanied by regional urban development and megalopolis formation since the reform and opening up [27][28][29], resulting in increasing effects on climate change [30][31][32][33]. Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Metropolitan area is the economic center of northern China, and it plays a strategically important role in the political and economic development of China as a whole [34].…”

China has experienced rapid urbanization since 1978, and the dramatic change in land cover is expected to have significant impacts on the climate change. Some models have been used to simulate the relationship between land use and land cover change and climate change; however, there is still no sufficient evidence for the impacts of urbanization on the regional climate. This study aims to identify the impact of urban land use change on regional temperature and precipitation in summer in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Metropolitan area during 2030–2040 based on the analysis of the simulation results of WRF model. Firstly, we analyzed the land use change and climate change during 1995–2005 in the study area. The impacts of future urbanization on regional climate change were then simulated. The results indicate that urbanization in this area has affected the regional climate and has the potential to increase temperature and precipitation in the summer of 2030–2040. These research results can offer decision-making support information related to future planning strategies in urban environments in consideration of regional climate change.
