Abstract

Mobile temperature and humidity measurements have been performed along a 17-km transect in a local urban area in Shenzhen (China), during the period from August to December in 2013. The spatial-temporal distributions of Urban Heat Island intensity (UHII) show that the overall average UHII at different times vary between 0°C and 2°C. The daily average UHII change from 0°C to 3°C. The spatial distributions of UHII express obvious UHII differences as a whole. The correlation coefficients between spatial influential factors and the UHII reveal that the formation of UHII is influenced by both the urban surface characteristics and weather conditions.
