Abstract  

It demonstrates a procedure for rapidly estimating the intensity of surface urban heat island (SUHI) from direct-downloaded NOAA/AVHRR HRPT data using the ENVI image analysis software operating in batch mode.The processing stream provides for reading level-1b data,calibration,geometric correction,sub-setting imagery,calculation of surface temperature,cloud screening and image statistics.Then,this procedure was used to investigate the intra-annual characteristics of daytime SUHI intensity in Jinan city,Shandong province.The results show that:① SUHI phenomena exist over a majority of months throughout the year,especially from April through September;② the mean SUHI intensity is 2.77℃ and the most intense effect (more than 10℃) occurs during the period from the last ten-day of July to the middle ten days of August;③ the significant SUHI mainly appears in the summer,the spring takes second place,and the UHI in the autumn and the winter seems not obvious;④the SUHI intensity correlates positively to urban and suburban surface temperature with low regression coefficients.

Key words:   NOAA/AVHRR      Surface urban heat island      Seasonal change      ENVI in batch mode
