<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> urban heat island (UHI) intensity in Nanjing, has been particularity investigated using<br />
the temperature data measured at three urban and <strong>on</strong>e suburb stati<strong>on</strong> form 1960 to 2005,<br />
including annual, mensal, day-by-day temperature of average, highest, lowest, and four<br />
times(02:00, 08:00 , 14:00, 20:00) a day. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> thesis adopts three sorts UHI statistical methods<br />
to analyze the character of the UHI. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong> can be drawn as following: (1) <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> UHI<br />
intensity boosts up with the developing of city, and also gives more prominent presentati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong><br />
annual lowest temperature than <strong>on</strong> annual highest temperature and annual average<br />
temperature. (2)<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> seas<strong>on</strong>al variety of UHI intensity is obvious: str<strong>on</strong>g in spring, weak in<br />
autumn and winter. (3) <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> UHI intensity in Nanjing is lower than other large city, the peak<br />
value is between 0 and 3 . When the daily temperature is lowest, the UHI intensity is<br />
str<strong>on</strong>ger. (4) <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> temperature of four times reflects an obvious day and night variety of UHI<br />
intensity with the maximum intensity appears at 02:00 and the minimum at 14:00. (5)<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> UHI<br />
intensity exp<strong>on</strong>ent increases holistically reduce in 1960s, arrive at lowest in 1970s, increases<br />
again form 1975.<br />
