Análise do comportamento da temperatura de superfície terrestre (TST) no período de 1997 a 2020 como subsídio para o estudo do clima urbano de Maracanaú-CE

Abstract

Maracanaú is one of the municipalities in the metropolitan region of Fortaleza that has been changing due to changes in geographic space and urban infrastructure as a result of the installation of Industrial Districts and housing estates, resulting in changes in its local climate. This article aimed to contribute to the studies of the urban climate in the municipality of Maracanaú-CE, seeking to analyze the relationship between the intensity of urbanization and the surface thermal behavior. The methodology used was based on a theoretical and methodological support of works with a similar theme and subsequent production of thematic maps of surface temperature, NDVI and Land Use and Occupation, with the period between 1997 and 2020 as the time frame. Analyzing the result of the worked maps, it was observed that the increase in temperature, the vegetation cover and the use and occupation are strictly related to the expansion of the real estate and industrial sector since this induces the suppression of the vegetation cover, increasing considerably the thermal values.
