Hansen, Goddard Institute for Space Studies, New York, NY, and approved April 28, 2004 (received for review January 15, 2004) China has experienced rapid urbanization and dramatic economic growth since its reform process started in late 1978. In this article, we present evidence for a significant urbanization effect on cli- mate based on analysis of impacts of land-use changes on surface temperature in southeast China, where rapid urbanization has occurred. Our estimated warming of mean surface temperature of 0.05°C per decade attributable to urbanization is much larger than previous estimates for other periods and locations. The spatial pattern and magnitude of our estimate are consistent with those of urbanization characterized by changes in the percentage of urban population and in satellite-measured greenness. Land-use changes from urbanization, creating an urban heatisland (UHI), have been suspected as partially being respon- sible for the observed warming over land during the last few decades because of (i) the observed decrease in the diurnal temperature range (DTR) resulting from a larger increase or a smaller decrease i
