Multidimensional assessment of the spatiotemporal evolution, driving mechanisms, and future predictions of urban heat islands in Jinan, China by Lingye Tan, Tiong Lee Kong Robert, Yan Zhang, Siyi Huang, Ziyang Zhang

“…Key findings include: (1) a significant northward shift in the LST centroid and a 26.64% expansion in high-temperature areas, with noticeable cooling effects in the city center. (2) A nonlinear relationship between LST and socioeconomic factors, particularly GDP, where cooling effects were observed when GDP exceeded 10,000 yuan/km2. (3) Synergistic interactions, especially between topographic factors (such as the Digital Elevation Model, DEM) and land-use indices (e.g., normalized difference built-up index, NDBI; normalized difference vegetation index, NDVI), were found to significantly influence LST variations. (4) The Oscillating Sequence Grey Model (OSGM), optimized for handling oscillating data sequences, demonstrated superior predictive accuracy, projecting a 20.72% increase in extreme high-temperature zones and a 40.61% reduction in moderate-high-temperature zones by 2047. …”
