Fractal Characterization for Relationship between Temperature Distribution and Ground Spatial Structure in Beijing Areas
The idea of constructing the relationship of temperature distribution to spatial structure of Beijing areas was brought forward in the research.Firstly
Landsat7 ETM+ remote sensing data of Beijing city(22
May
2002) was used to build the relationships between temperature distribution and Fractal Parameters such as Box dimensions
Lipshitz-Hlder exponents α
max
α
min
(α
max
-α
min
) and information dimension D(1).Then
Landsat5 TM remote sensing data of Beijing city(16
May
1997) and Hangzhou city(11
Aug
1998) were used to verify the previous relationships.Finally
this research showed that the distribution of city temperature fields existed the evidenced linear relationship with Box dimensions
α
min
and D(1)
and their correlative coefficients are higher
however
with α
max
and(α
max
-α
min
) was uncertain.City spatial characteristic is very complex
when explains the relationships of environmental factor and(or) phenomena to spatial structure of city by fractal theory
the physical and real significance of fractal parameters must be explained carefully.
