Abstract

New construction has resulted in impervious surfaces increasingly replacing natural landscapes, altering surface radiation, thermal properties, and humidity in urban areas. Based on Landsat-8 data, the temporal and spatial impacts of the construction of Dalian Jinzhouwan Airport and Beijing Daxing Airport on the thermal environment were studied. The local thermal gradient (LTG) of the airport before and after construction is compared. The results showed that after the completion of the airport, the LTG value of Daxing Airport increased by 0.033 and that of Jinzhou Bay Airport increased by 0.009. After the airport operation, LTG values increase again. Daxing Airport added another 0.053, and Jinzhou Bay Airport added another 0.127. Two land classification models (land use type, LUT; local climate zone, LCZ) were used to explore the relationship between land use type and LTG. The results show that the increase of alloy buildings after the completion of the airport has a great influence on the thermal environment of the two study areas. The operation of airports will further enhance this effect. Our study can provide a reference for the influence of large-scale traffic construction on the urban thermal environment.
