Study on the Heat Island Effect in Harbin City Based on RS and GIS
This paper simulated the ground brightness temperature in the city area using the thermal infrared remote sensing images data (Landsat ETM+) based on Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) technologies. The images of ground brightness temperature were divided into several grades for studying the rule of spatial -temporal changes and the temperature's spatial distribution. It pointed out the heat island effect spatial structures in the city. The distribution of the heat-island effect is identified to monitor the urban development by the analysis of heat island effect in Harbin. The accurate and enough information will be offered for the urban heat environment assessment and heat headstream research.
