| The distinct characteristics of urban and non-urban land cover usually results with a positive difference in surface temperatures and is referred to as the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. This paper assesses the spatio-temporal formation of UHI and land surface temperatures (LSTs) in Izmir, Turkey, situated in a Mediterranean climate region. LSTs were obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua and Terra over the period 2000–2015. UHI intensity was examined using the temperature differences between urban and non-urban areas and non-parametric Mann-Kendall (MK) test to identify trends in LSTs and UHI intensity. The results indicate that day-time UHI is higher at Izmir with a seasonal variation. MK test of LSTs shows increasing trends in nighttime temperatures for both urban and non-urban areas especially for winter and spring. |
