Comparative Analysis on Air Temperature before and after De-urbanization in Central China by Yucui ZHANG, Lin ZHAO, Jianghong TAN, Caixia YAN, Pengcheng QIN

“…The effects on surface air temperature series are different or more by urbanization with different levels， in order to clarify this difference in Central China， based on the daily air temperature data of 268 national meteorological stations of Central China during 1964 -2023， the big city stations， general city stations and national basic/reference stations were selected， meanwhile the reference stations were selected by the methods of Empirical Orthogonal Function （EOF） and adjacent station selection.Then the calculation formulas of urbanization bias， contribution of urbanization bias and urbanization bias correction were constructed.The effects of urbanization on annual and seasonal average temperature， average maximum and minimum temperature series of big city， general city and national basic/reference stations were comparably analyzed in Central China in 1964 -2023 and 1979 -2023， and then the urbanization biases of the annual and seasonal temperature series in above stations were corrected.The results showed that： in the two periods， the annual average temperature， annual average maximum and minimum temperature in city and basic/reference stations increased by urbanization， and the urbanization biases of the three temperatures in above stations in 1979 -2023 were more than those in 1964 -2023， but the contributions of urbanization bias decreased in big city and basic/reference stations.As far as average temperature was concerned， the effect of urbanization on annual average minimum temperature was significantly higher than that in annual average maximum temperature in city and basic/reference stations in the two periods； As far as season was concerned， it was the most significant effect on winter warming by urbanization in 1964 -2023， while it decreased obviously in 1979 -2023； As far as different level stations were concerned， it was the most significant effect of urbanization on big city stations in 1964 -2023， while the contribution of urbanization bias of general city stations was 5.6% higher than that in big city stations in 1979 -2023， the urbanization biases of the annual average temperature in national basic/reference stations were 0.040~0.041 ℃·（10a）-1 in the two periods.After urbanization bias correction， the warming trends of annual average temperature， annual average maximum and minimum temperature reduced 0.044 ℃·（10a）-1， 0.010 ℃·（10a）-1， 0.070 ℃·（10a）-1 respectively in Central China in 1964 -2023； The areas with the most significant decrease of warming trend were the central east of Henan Province which were the areas with the most significant urbanization in Central China， as the rapid development of urban， the impacts on climate and environment should be put specially attention.…”
