Introduction With the rapid development of urbanization since industrial revolution, land use and land cover (LULC) of the earth has changed dramatically because of human activities and natural disasters. At the same time, LULC not only changed the land surface condition, but also reduced the stability of the earth surface ecosystem. As a result, LULC has affected the climate change directly and indirectly [1] and hence has become more and more important study area for environmental researchers [24]. One relative mature research is the study of the relation- ship between LULC and urban heat island (UHI) [3, 4]. Stud- ies have proved that the urban built-up land has positive influence on UHI [5], while green landscape has negative influence on UHI [3]. In addition, water body is another land use type with negative influence [6, 7] as the water bodies in city achieve cooling effect by transpiration and heat exchange with the surrounding environment. Compared with the stud- ies of built-up, green landscape land use types, the research on urban water body is relatively less at present. ere are three aspects in this research: (1) the relationship between water body and land surface temperature; the temperature of water is lower than other kinds of land uses [7]; (2) the impact of spatial characteristics (e.g., shape) on UHI [8]; (3) the config- uration of water body, and its relationship with UHI [9]. e land surface temperature (LST), as one important indicator of the UHI [1], has been used in many researches to represent climate effects. is paper studies the relationship between the land surface temperature and the water body from the view of landscape pattern. Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, in central China, is famous for the title of “one of four furnaces in China.” And it has another name: “the city of hundreds lakes,” whose water area covers around 25% of the territory and the coverage of water area ranks first in the whole country. In recent years, Wuhan city has experienced rapid urbanization and economic development. As a result, many urban water bodies in Wuhan city have been disappeared because of the pressure to gain extra land profit in the process of urban development [10]. At the same time, the land use/cover change has a great effect on its local climate. erefore, Wuhan city is chosen as the case area to estimate the relationship between LST and the water pattern from the view of landscape ecology. Based on existing research, this paper used the Landsat ematic Mapper (TM) data to retrieve LST and land use/ cover for water. en, considering the number of samples and computational burden, Wuhan city was divided into 736 sample areas whose size is 3000 m 3000 m. en the land- scape metrics of water and the mean LST of each sample area were calculated by using ArcGIS 10.0.

1 Introduction

With the rapid development of urbanization since industrialrevolution land use and land cover (LULC) of the earth haschanged dramatically because of human activities and naturaldisasters At the same time LULC not only changed the landsurface condition but also reduced the stability of the earthsurface ecosystem As a result LULC has affected the climatechange directly and indirectly [1] and hence has becomemoreandmore important study area for environmental researchers[2ndash4]

One relative mature research is the study of the relation-ship between LULC and urban heat island (UHI) [3 4] Stud-ies have proved that the urban built-up land has positiveinfluence on UHI [5] while green landscape has negativeinfluence on UHI [3] In addition water body is another landuse type with negative influence [6 7] as the water bodies incity achieve cooling effect by transpiration and heat exchangewith the surrounding environment Compared with the stud-ies of built-up green landscape land use types the research onurban water body is relatively less at present There are threeaspects in this research (1) the relationship between waterbody and land surface temperature the temperature of wateris lower than other kinds of land uses [7] (2) the impact ofspatial characteristics (eg shape) on UHI [8] (3) the config-uration of water body and its relationship with UHI [9]

The land surface temperature (LST) as one importantindicator of the UHI [1] has been used in many researches torepresent climate effects This paper studies the relationshipbetween the land surface temperature and the water bodyfrom the view of landscape pattern

22 Data Sources This paper utilized three types of datasocial-economy statistical data Wuhan land use data andLST data derived from remote sensing images (1)The social-economy statistical data such as populationannual GDP percapita in this paper came from Wuhan Statistical Yearbookand Wuhan City Water Resources Bulletin (2) A Landsat5 TM imagery on September 11 2005 (patchrow 12239)was selected to quantitatively measure LST and the situationof LULC All bands of TM images except band 6 have aspatial resolution of 30m while band 6 (thermal infraredband) has a spatial resolution of 60m Before getting LULCinformation from the raw image image preprocessing such asgeometric rectification relative radiometric correction andatmospheric correction was completed In addition a Spotimage on December 15 2005 with a spatial resolution of 4mwas used to verify results of supervised classification in thestudy area

5 TM imagery the land use information was extractedby the method of supervised classification and the LSTwas retrieved by using the single-channel algorithm Thenconsidering number of statistical samples and the computa-tional burden Wuhan was divided into 736 sample regionsThe mean LST and landscape metrics of water in eachsample region as sample data would be used to do Pearsonrsquoscorrelation analysis andmultiple stepwise regression analysisBy comparing relationship between the landscape metrics ofwater and the LST it is meaningful to reveal the impactsof the spatial structure of water on LST which can helpimproving urban environment through rational allocation ofwater resources

32 Acquisition of Land Use Map In order to calculatelandscape metrics of water a land cover classification isnecessary to obtain the land use map in study area In thispaper five land use classes were established urban forestcropland bare land and water It should be pointed outthat water in here mainly includes rivers lakes and pondsThere are three steps to derive land use map First region ofinterest (ROI)was selected on the true color imagewhichwasproduced by combining bands 5 4 and 3 of the TM imagesThey were used as training areas after passing separable testSecond neural net classificationwas employed to perform theclassificationThird for each land category at least 60 samples

were selected randomly to check the accuracy of the classifiedmaps by using confusion matrices In addition the true ROIwas identified on the Spot image used as ground surveys inaccuracy assessment The overall accuracy is approximately80 and the overall kappa statistics value nearly reached 08which met the recommended value Fourthly a 3 lowast 3 movingwindow in clump process was used to do postclassificationprocess which can eliminate the unnecessary image noisesfrom visual interpretation After completing these abovesteps the land use map was obtained as shown in Figure 3(b)

33 Retrieval of LST In order to acquire the LST of Wuhancity the brightness temperature should be derived first Amethod composed by three equations was proposed byQin etal (2001) to derive brightness temperature from TM images[11]

The first equation can convert digital number of band 6into radiation luminance (119871TM6 m times W times cm

minus2

times srminus1) asfollows

119871TM6 =DN times (119871max minus 119871min)

255

+ 119871min(1)

where DN is the digital number of TM image 119871max and 119871minrepresent the maximum and minimum radiation luminancecorresponding to the DNmax (255) and DNmin (0) According

times srminus1 times 120583mminus1Then brightness temperature can be derived by two equa-

The brightness temperature obtained above just repre-sents blackbody temperature However the blackbody is notexistent in the real world So it is necessary to convert thebrightness temperature into LST by using the following for-mula [13]

After finishing these above steps the LST image wasretrieved shown in Figure 3(a)

34 Calculation of Spatial Structure of Water Body by UsingLandscape Metrics From the land use map of Wuhan cityit can be intuitively identified that water body is evenlydistributed in the whole study area Unlike other metropolisin China such as Beijing and Shanghai the correlationbetweenmean LST andwater-based landscapemetric ismoresignificant inWuhan because of the large quantity and specialspatial structure of water body in study area [9] as it shownin Figure 4

Advances in Meteorology 5

As we all know landscape metrics are often used forquantitative spatial model building in biological habitat andlandscape ecological contexts [16] And they are used toanalyze and characterize urban land use and structure types[17] In this paper 32 class-based metricsrsquo landscape was usedfor quantitative expression of the spatial structure of waterbody

Considering the relatively low time resolution of TMimages it is not convenient to get a series of sample datain the view of time and the sample data would be chosenin space Wuhan was divided into 736 sample regions whosesize is 3000m lowast 3000m (the value is determined by severalexperiments) The mean LST of each sample region wascalculated by zonal statistics in ArcGIS 100 and the value ofMoranrsquos I was acquired tomeasure the spatial autocorrelationof the mean LST Then the landscape metrics of water bodywere got usingPatchAnalyst 5 PatchAnalyst 5 is an extensionto ArcGIS system that can facilitate the spatial analysis oflandscape patches and is used for spatial pattern analysis

Then Pearsonrsquos correlation coefficients between the land-scape metrics and mean LST were calculated It is a signif-icance test between spatial structure of water body and themean LST

Stepwise multiple regression analysis was designed tofind the most parsimonious set of predictors which are mosteffective in predicting the dependent variable [18] Analyseswere performed using IBM SPSS Statistics

4 Results and Discussion

41 The Land Use Types and Their Corresponding Mean LSTIn this paper in order to study the land surface temperaturerelationships of different land use types the mean tempera-tures of different land use types were calculated by averagingall corresponding pixel values (Table 1)

The results shown in Table 1 suggested that the built-uparea is corresponding to relatively high temperature while thewater bodywith lowest temperaturemay affect the LSTwhichwill be considered as potential mitigating factors Becausethe urban underlying surface is made up of different landuse types it is reasonable to analyze the relationship betweenland use and LST through considering other land use typesas potential factors

42 Relationship between the LST and Landscape of WaterBody The mean temperature of each sample area is shownin Figure 5 and the value of Moranrsquos I is 05969 Moranrsquos I isa measure of spatial autocorrelation Therefore it was foundthat the temperature has a strong spatial autocorrelation Inthis paper we used a covariate to control the autocorrelationof the mean temperature

Since we select 32 class-based metrics not every land-scape metric has high correlation with temperature Wechoose the landscape metrics whose Pearsonrsquos correlationcoefficient with temperature is higher than 04The landscapemetrics shown in Table 2 are highly related to the landscapemetrics of water body

Through multiple stepwise regression analysis the mosteffective landscape metrics in predicting the dependent

5 Conclusions and Discussions

Rational allocation of land resources not only maintains thesustainable development of social economy but alsomitigatesclimate change This research field has become one of thehottest issues in government and academy society Despitethe fact thatWuhan has abundant surface water resource theamount of water resources is under severe threat MeanwhileWuhan is facing problems caused by urban heat island

The UHI types can be generally categorized into airtemperature UHI and surface UHI [21 22] Air temperatureUHIs are generally stronger and exhibit greatest spatialvariations at night whereas the greatest difference in surfaceUHIs usually occurs during the daytime [21ndash23] In this studywe focus on remotely sensed land surface temperature (LST)surface UHI

Remotely sensed LST records the radiative energy emit-ted from the ground surface including building roofs pavedsurfaces vegetation bare ground and water [21 24] There-fore the pattern of land cover in urban landscapes maypotentially influence LST [21 25] This study took Wuhancity as the case area and investigated the impact of waterlandscape pattern on UHI Based on the mean LST andlandscapemetrics ofwater body via remote sensing techniqueand spatial analysis the relationship between the mean LSTand the attributes of water body was revealed by Pearsonrsquoscorrelation analysis andmultiple stepwise regression analysis

The results showed the following (1) Compared to otherland use types water body is corresponding to lower LST(2) In 32 class-based metrics we selected the proportionof water body average water body size the isolation andfragmentation of water body and other eight metrics haveobvious correlation with the LST whose Pearsonrsquos correlationcoefficient with temperature is higher than 04 Among the11 metrics class proportion CA TCA and LPI are of veryhigh correlation with LST The proportion of water bodyhas a negative correlation with the mean LST It means thatin a fixed region the lower the ratio of water body thehigher themean LSTMeanwhile the averagewater body sizethe percent of the total landscape which is made up by thelargest water body patch and the isolation and fragmentationof water body all have negative correlation with the meanLST (3) The LST is the result of comprehensive effectsof multifactors The result of multiple stepwise regressionanalysis indicated that the total size and amount of corewater patches have a larger effect on the LST except forthe variable of surrounding temperature calculated throughweight matrix The core water patches represent the interiorwater body with small external influence

By analyzing the relationship between the LST andthe attributes of water body it was found that the spatialcharacteristics of water body have impact on LST thusproviding decision support for governments to allocate waterresources

22 Data Sources This paper utilized three types of datasocial-economy statistical data Wuhan land use data andLST data derived from remote sensing images (1)The social-economy statistical data such as populationannual GDP percapita in this paper came from Wuhan Statistical Yearbookand Wuhan City Water Resources Bulletin (2) A Landsat5 TM imagery on September 11 2005 (patchrow 12239)was selected to quantitatively measure LST and the situationof LULC All bands of TM images except band 6 have aspatial resolution of 30m while band 6 (thermal infraredband) has a spatial resolution of 60m Before getting LULCinformation from the raw image image preprocessing such asgeometric rectification relative radiometric correction andatmospheric correction was completed In addition a Spotimage on December 15 2005 with a spatial resolution of 4mwas used to verify results of supervised classification in thestudy area

32 Acquisition of Land Use Map In order to calculatelandscape metrics of water a land cover classification isnecessary to obtain the land use map in study area In thispaper five land use classes were established urban forestcropland bare land and water It should be pointed outthat water in here mainly includes rivers lakes and pondsThere are three steps to derive land use map First region ofinterest (ROI)was selected on the true color imagewhichwasproduced by combining bands 5 4 and 3 of the TM imagesThey were used as training areas after passing separable testSecond neural net classificationwas employed to perform theclassificationThird for each land category at least 60 samples

were selected randomly to check the accuracy of the classifiedmaps by using confusion matrices In addition the true ROIwas identified on the Spot image used as ground surveys inaccuracy assessment The overall accuracy is approximately80 and the overall kappa statistics value nearly reached 08which met the recommended value Fourthly a 3 lowast 3 movingwindow in clump process was used to do postclassificationprocess which can eliminate the unnecessary image noisesfrom visual interpretation After completing these abovesteps the land use map was obtained as shown in Figure 3(b)

33 Retrieval of LST In order to acquire the LST of Wuhancity the brightness temperature should be derived first Amethod composed by three equations was proposed byQin etal (2001) to derive brightness temperature from TM images[11]

The first equation can convert digital number of band 6into radiation luminance (119871TM6 m times W times cm

minus2

times srminus1) asfollows

119871TM6 =DN times (119871max minus 119871min)

255

+ 119871min(1)

where DN is the digital number of TM image 119871max and 119871minrepresent the maximum and minimum radiation luminancecorresponding to the DNmax (255) and DNmin (0) According

The brightness temperature obtained above just repre-sents blackbody temperature However the blackbody is notexistent in the real world So it is necessary to convert thebrightness temperature into LST by using the following for-mula [13]

After finishing these above steps the LST image wasretrieved shown in Figure 3(a)

34 Calculation of Spatial Structure of Water Body by UsingLandscape Metrics From the land use map of Wuhan cityit can be intuitively identified that water body is evenlydistributed in the whole study area Unlike other metropolisin China such as Beijing and Shanghai the correlationbetweenmean LST andwater-based landscapemetric ismoresignificant inWuhan because of the large quantity and specialspatial structure of water body in study area [9] as it shownin Figure 4

Advances in Meteorology 5

As we all know landscape metrics are often used forquantitative spatial model building in biological habitat andlandscape ecological contexts [16] And they are used toanalyze and characterize urban land use and structure types[17] In this paper 32 class-based metricsrsquo landscape was usedfor quantitative expression of the spatial structure of waterbody

Considering the relatively low time resolution of TMimages it is not convenient to get a series of sample datain the view of time and the sample data would be chosenin space Wuhan was divided into 736 sample regions whosesize is 3000m lowast 3000m (the value is determined by severalexperiments) The mean LST of each sample region wascalculated by zonal statistics in ArcGIS 100 and the value ofMoranrsquos I was acquired tomeasure the spatial autocorrelationof the mean LST Then the landscape metrics of water bodywere got usingPatchAnalyst 5 PatchAnalyst 5 is an extensionto ArcGIS system that can facilitate the spatial analysis oflandscape patches and is used for spatial pattern analysis

Then Pearsonrsquos correlation coefficients between the land-scape metrics and mean LST were calculated It is a signif-icance test between spatial structure of water body and themean LST

Stepwise multiple regression analysis was designed tofind the most parsimonious set of predictors which are mosteffective in predicting the dependent variable [18] Analyseswere performed using IBM SPSS Statistics

4 Results and Discussion

41 The Land Use Types and Their Corresponding Mean LSTIn this paper in order to study the land surface temperaturerelationships of different land use types the mean tempera-tures of different land use types were calculated by averagingall corresponding pixel values (Table 1)

The results shown in Table 1 suggested that the built-uparea is corresponding to relatively high temperature while thewater bodywith lowest temperaturemay affect the LSTwhichwill be considered as potential mitigating factors Becausethe urban underlying surface is made up of different landuse types it is reasonable to analyze the relationship betweenland use and LST through considering other land use typesas potential factors

42 Relationship between the LST and Landscape of WaterBody The mean temperature of each sample area is shownin Figure 5 and the value of Moranrsquos I is 05969 Moranrsquos I isa measure of spatial autocorrelation Therefore it was foundthat the temperature has a strong spatial autocorrelation Inthis paper we used a covariate to control the autocorrelationof the mean temperature

Since we select 32 class-based metrics not every land-scape metric has high correlation with temperature Wechoose the landscape metrics whose Pearsonrsquos correlationcoefficient with temperature is higher than 04The landscapemetrics shown in Table 2 are highly related to the landscapemetrics of water body

Through multiple stepwise regression analysis the mosteffective landscape metrics in predicting the dependent

5 Conclusions and Discussions

Rational allocation of land resources not only maintains thesustainable development of social economy but alsomitigatesclimate change This research field has become one of thehottest issues in government and academy society Despitethe fact thatWuhan has abundant surface water resource theamount of water resources is under severe threat MeanwhileWuhan is facing problems caused by urban heat island

The UHI types can be generally categorized into airtemperature UHI and surface UHI [21 22] Air temperatureUHIs are generally stronger and exhibit greatest spatialvariations at night whereas the greatest difference in surfaceUHIs usually occurs during the daytime [21ndash23] In this studywe focus on remotely sensed land surface temperature (LST)surface UHI

Remotely sensed LST records the radiative energy emit-ted from the ground surface including building roofs pavedsurfaces vegetation bare ground and water [21 24] There-fore the pattern of land cover in urban landscapes maypotentially influence LST [21 25] This study took Wuhancity as the case area and investigated the impact of waterlandscape pattern on UHI Based on the mean LST andlandscapemetrics ofwater body via remote sensing techniqueand spatial analysis the relationship between the mean LSTand the attributes of water body was revealed by Pearsonrsquoscorrelation analysis andmultiple stepwise regression analysis

The results showed the following (1) Compared to otherland use types water body is corresponding to lower LST(2) In 32 class-based metrics we selected the proportionof water body average water body size the isolation andfragmentation of water body and other eight metrics haveobvious correlation with the LST whose Pearsonrsquos correlationcoefficient with temperature is higher than 04 Among the11 metrics class proportion CA TCA and LPI are of veryhigh correlation with LST The proportion of water bodyhas a negative correlation with the mean LST It means thatin a fixed region the lower the ratio of water body thehigher themean LSTMeanwhile the averagewater body sizethe percent of the total landscape which is made up by thelargest water body patch and the isolation and fragmentationof water body all have negative correlation with the meanLST (3) The LST is the result of comprehensive effectsof multifactors The result of multiple stepwise regressionanalysis indicated that the total size and amount of corewater patches have a larger effect on the LST except forthe variable of surrounding temperature calculated throughweight matrix The core water patches represent the interiorwater body with small external influence

By analyzing the relationship between the LST andthe attributes of water body it was found that the spatialcharacteristics of water body have impact on LST thusproviding decision support for governments to allocate waterresources

34 Calculation of Spatial Structure of Water Body by UsingLandscape Metrics From the land use map of Wuhan cityit can be intuitively identified that water body is evenlydistributed in the whole study area Unlike other metropolisin China such as Beijing and Shanghai the correlationbetweenmean LST andwater-based landscapemetric ismoresignificant inWuhan because of the large quantity and specialspatial structure of water body in study area [9] as it shownin Figure 4

Advances in Meteorology 5

As we all know landscape metrics are often used forquantitative spatial model building in biological habitat andlandscape ecological contexts [16] And they are used toanalyze and characterize urban land use and structure types[17] In this paper 32 class-based metricsrsquo landscape was usedfor quantitative expression of the spatial structure of waterbody

Considering the relatively low time resolution of TMimages it is not convenient to get a series of sample datain the view of time and the sample data would be chosenin space Wuhan was divided into 736 sample regions whosesize is 3000m lowast 3000m (the value is determined by severalexperiments) The mean LST of each sample region wascalculated by zonal statistics in ArcGIS 100 and the value ofMoranrsquos I was acquired tomeasure the spatial autocorrelationof the mean LST Then the landscape metrics of water bodywere got usingPatchAnalyst 5 PatchAnalyst 5 is an extensionto ArcGIS system that can facilitate the spatial analysis oflandscape patches and is used for spatial pattern analysis

Then Pearsonrsquos correlation coefficients between the land-scape metrics and mean LST were calculated It is a signif-icance test between spatial structure of water body and themean LST

Stepwise multiple regression analysis was designed tofind the most parsimonious set of predictors which are mosteffective in predicting the dependent variable [18] Analyseswere performed using IBM SPSS Statistics

4 Results and Discussion

41 The Land Use Types and Their Corresponding Mean LSTIn this paper in order to study the land surface temperaturerelationships of different land use types the mean tempera-tures of different land use types were calculated by averagingall corresponding pixel values (Table 1)

The results shown in Table 1 suggested that the built-uparea is corresponding to relatively high temperature while thewater bodywith lowest temperaturemay affect the LSTwhichwill be considered as potential mitigating factors Becausethe urban underlying surface is made up of different landuse types it is reasonable to analyze the relationship betweenland use and LST through considering other land use typesas potential factors

42 Relationship between the LST and Landscape of WaterBody The mean temperature of each sample area is shownin Figure 5 and the value of Moranrsquos I is 05969 Moranrsquos I isa measure of spatial autocorrelation Therefore it was foundthat the temperature has a strong spatial autocorrelation Inthis paper we used a covariate to control the autocorrelationof the mean temperature

Since we select 32 class-based metrics not every land-scape metric has high correlation with temperature Wechoose the landscape metrics whose Pearsonrsquos correlationcoefficient with temperature is higher than 04The landscapemetrics shown in Table 2 are highly related to the landscapemetrics of water body

Through multiple stepwise regression analysis the mosteffective landscape metrics in predicting the dependent

5 Conclusions and Discussions

Rational allocation of land resources not only maintains thesustainable development of social economy but alsomitigatesclimate change This research field has become one of thehottest issues in government and academy society Despitethe fact thatWuhan has abundant surface water resource theamount of water resources is under severe threat MeanwhileWuhan is facing problems caused by urban heat island

The UHI types can be generally categorized into airtemperature UHI and surface UHI [21 22] Air temperatureUHIs are generally stronger and exhibit greatest spatialvariations at night whereas the greatest difference in surfaceUHIs usually occurs during the daytime [21ndash23] In this studywe focus on remotely sensed land surface temperature (LST)surface UHI

Remotely sensed LST records the radiative energy emit-ted from the ground surface including building roofs pavedsurfaces vegetation bare ground and water [21 24] There-fore the pattern of land cover in urban landscapes maypotentially influence LST [21 25] This study took Wuhancity as the case area and investigated the impact of waterlandscape pattern on UHI Based on the mean LST andlandscapemetrics ofwater body via remote sensing techniqueand spatial analysis the relationship between the mean LSTand the attributes of water body was revealed by Pearsonrsquoscorrelation analysis andmultiple stepwise regression analysis

The results showed the following (1) Compared to otherland use types water body is corresponding to lower LST(2) In 32 class-based metrics we selected the proportionof water body average water body size the isolation andfragmentation of water body and other eight metrics haveobvious correlation with the LST whose Pearsonrsquos correlationcoefficient with temperature is higher than 04 Among the11 metrics class proportion CA TCA and LPI are of veryhigh correlation with LST The proportion of water bodyhas a negative correlation with the mean LST It means thatin a fixed region the lower the ratio of water body thehigher themean LSTMeanwhile the averagewater body sizethe percent of the total landscape which is made up by thelargest water body patch and the isolation and fragmentationof water body all have negative correlation with the meanLST (3) The LST is the result of comprehensive effectsof multifactors The result of multiple stepwise regressionanalysis indicated that the total size and amount of corewater patches have a larger effect on the LST except forthe variable of surrounding temperature calculated throughweight matrix The core water patches represent the interiorwater body with small external influence

By analyzing the relationship between the LST andthe attributes of water body it was found that the spatialcharacteristics of water body have impact on LST thusproviding decision support for governments to allocate waterresources

Advances in Meteorology 5

As we all know landscape metrics are often used forquantitative spatial model building in biological habitat andlandscape ecological contexts [16] And they are used toanalyze and characterize urban land use and structure types[17] In this paper 32 class-based metricsrsquo landscape was usedfor quantitative expression of the spatial structure of waterbody

Considering the relatively low time resolution of TMimages it is not convenient to get a series of sample datain the view of time and the sample data would be chosenin space Wuhan was divided into 736 sample regions whosesize is 3000m lowast 3000m (the value is determined by severalexperiments) The mean LST of each sample region wascalculated by zonal statistics in ArcGIS 100 and the value ofMoranrsquos I was acquired tomeasure the spatial autocorrelationof the mean LST Then the landscape metrics of water bodywere got usingPatchAnalyst 5 PatchAnalyst 5 is an extensionto ArcGIS system that can facilitate the spatial analysis oflandscape patches and is used for spatial pattern analysis

Then Pearsonrsquos correlation coefficients between the land-scape metrics and mean LST were calculated It is a signif-icance test between spatial structure of water body and themean LST

Stepwise multiple regression analysis was designed tofind the most parsimonious set of predictors which are mosteffective in predicting the dependent variable [18] Analyseswere performed using IBM SPSS Statistics

4 Results and Discussion

41 The Land Use Types and Their Corresponding Mean LSTIn this paper in order to study the land surface temperaturerelationships of different land use types the mean tempera-tures of different land use types were calculated by averagingall corresponding pixel values (Table 1)

The results shown in Table 1 suggested that the built-uparea is corresponding to relatively high temperature while thewater bodywith lowest temperaturemay affect the LSTwhichwill be considered as potential mitigating factors Becausethe urban underlying surface is made up of different landuse types it is reasonable to analyze the relationship betweenland use and LST through considering other land use typesas potential factors

42 Relationship between the LST and Landscape of WaterBody The mean temperature of each sample area is shownin Figure 5 and the value of Moranrsquos I is 05969 Moranrsquos I isa measure of spatial autocorrelation Therefore it was foundthat the temperature has a strong spatial autocorrelation Inthis paper we used a covariate to control the autocorrelationof the mean temperature

Since we select 32 class-based metrics not every land-scape metric has high correlation with temperature Wechoose the landscape metrics whose Pearsonrsquos correlationcoefficient with temperature is higher than 04The landscapemetrics shown in Table 2 are highly related to the landscapemetrics of water body

Advances in Meteorology 5

As we all know landscape metrics are often used forquantitative spatial model building in biological habitat andlandscape ecological contexts [16] And they are used toanalyze and characterize urban land use and structure types[17] In this paper 32 class-based metricsrsquo landscape was usedfor quantitative expression of the spatial structure of waterbody

Considering the relatively low time resolution of TMimages it is not convenient to get a series of sample datain the view of time and the sample data would be chosenin space Wuhan was divided into 736 sample regions whosesize is 3000m lowast 3000m (the value is determined by severalexperiments) The mean LST of each sample region wascalculated by zonal statistics in ArcGIS 100 and the value ofMoranrsquos I was acquired tomeasure the spatial autocorrelationof the mean LST Then the landscape metrics of water bodywere got usingPatchAnalyst 5 PatchAnalyst 5 is an extensionto ArcGIS system that can facilitate the spatial analysis oflandscape patches and is used for spatial pattern analysis

Then Pearsonrsquos correlation coefficients between the land-scape metrics and mean LST were calculated It is a signif-icance test between spatial structure of water body and themean LST

Stepwise multiple regression analysis was designed tofind the most parsimonious set of predictors which are mosteffective in predicting the dependent variable [18] Analyseswere performed using IBM SPSS Statistics

4 Results and Discussion

41 The Land Use Types and Their Corresponding Mean LSTIn this paper in order to study the land surface temperaturerelationships of different land use types the mean tempera-tures of different land use types were calculated by averagingall corresponding pixel values (Table 1)

The results shown in Table 1 suggested that the built-uparea is corresponding to relatively high temperature while thewater bodywith lowest temperaturemay affect the LSTwhichwill be considered as potential mitigating factors Becausethe urban underlying surface is made up of different landuse types it is reasonable to analyze the relationship betweenland use and LST through considering other land use typesas potential factors

42 Relationship between the LST and Landscape of WaterBody The mean temperature of each sample area is shownin Figure 5 and the value of Moranrsquos I is 05969 Moranrsquos I isa measure of spatial autocorrelation Therefore it was foundthat the temperature has a strong spatial autocorrelation Inthis paper we used a covariate to control the autocorrelationof the mean temperature

Since we select 32 class-based metrics not every land-scape metric has high correlation with temperature Wechoose the landscape metrics whose Pearsonrsquos correlationcoefficient with temperature is higher than 04The landscapemetrics shown in Table 2 are highly related to the landscapemetrics of water body

Through multiple stepwise regression analysis the mosteffective landscape metrics in predicting the dependent

5 Conclusions and Discussions

Rational allocation of land resources not only maintains thesustainable development of social economy but alsomitigatesclimate change This research field has become one of thehottest issues in government and academy society Despitethe fact thatWuhan has abundant surface water resource theamount of water resources is under severe threat MeanwhileWuhan is facing problems caused by urban heat island

The UHI types can be generally categorized into airtemperature UHI and surface UHI [21 22] Air temperatureUHIs are generally stronger and exhibit greatest spatialvariations at night whereas the greatest difference in surfaceUHIs usually occurs during the daytime [21ndash23] In this studywe focus on remotely sensed land surface temperature (LST)surface UHI

Remotely sensed LST records the radiative energy emit-ted from the ground surface including building roofs pavedsurfaces vegetation bare ground and water [21 24] There-fore the pattern of land cover in urban landscapes maypotentially influence LST [21 25] This study took Wuhancity as the case area and investigated the impact of waterlandscape pattern on UHI Based on the mean LST andlandscapemetrics ofwater body via remote sensing techniqueand spatial analysis the relationship between the mean LSTand the attributes of water body was revealed by Pearsonrsquoscorrelation analysis andmultiple stepwise regression analysis

The results showed the following (1) Compared to otherland use types water body is corresponding to lower LST(2) In 32 class-based metrics we selected the proportionof water body average water body size the isolation andfragmentation of water body and other eight metrics haveobvious correlation with the LST whose Pearsonrsquos correlationcoefficient with temperature is higher than 04 Among the11 metrics class proportion CA TCA and LPI are of veryhigh correlation with LST The proportion of water bodyhas a negative correlation with the mean LST It means thatin a fixed region the lower the ratio of water body thehigher themean LSTMeanwhile the averagewater body sizethe percent of the total landscape which is made up by thelargest water body patch and the isolation and fragmentationof water body all have negative correlation with the meanLST (3) The LST is the result of comprehensive effectsof multifactors The result of multiple stepwise regressionanalysis indicated that the total size and amount of corewater patches have a larger effect on the LST except forthe variable of surrounding temperature calculated throughweight matrix The core water patches represent the interiorwater body with small external influence

By analyzing the relationship between the LST andthe attributes of water body it was found that the spatialcharacteristics of water body have impact on LST thusproviding decision support for governments to allocate waterresources
