The differents characteristics of ground covering in the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region, where regions with high percentage of asphalt and concrete are surrounded for rural areas, determine the appearance of a temperature horizontal gradient knowledge as urban heat island phenomenon. Besides, diverse scientific works have demonstrated the influence of the mesoescale atmospheric circulation and synoptic scale in the urban heat island formation and dissipation. The main subjetive of study consists in analyze from simulated results, with the mesoescale model MM5, and observacionals data, the influence of synoptic systems and locals characteristics of the RMRJ in the formation and dissipation of urban heat island.

Abstract Cities experience the extensive urban heat island effect (UHI), which continue to pose challenges for humanity's increasingly urban population, where tropical cities have experienced a continued and rapid urbanization process in the past few decades. We present the evolution of surface UHI and its controlling factors in the Metropolitan Region of Belém, over the last 16 years (2003-2018), which has experienced unique consolidated economic growth and urban transformation under wet equatorial climate. We incorporate MODIS and Landsat satellite data and evaluate statistical techniques for estimates the variation in the land surface temperature (LST) during two seasons: wet season and dry season. Our result revealed that the regions of fast urbanization resulted in a decrease of normalized difference vegetation index and increase of LST. In addition, annual maps showed the spatial pattern of surface UHI intensities were produced based on daytime and nighttime temperature, and the analysis result indicated that the spatial distribution of high heat capacity was closely related with the densely built-up areas. These findings are helpful for understanding the urbanization process as well as urban ecology, which both have significant implications for urban planning and minimize the potential environmental impacts of urbanization in Metropolitan Region of Belém.
