Abstract

Problems such as the expansion of impervious areas and changes in underlying surfaces have occurred in cities due to rapid urbanization, along with an increasing probability of extreme rainfall. Based on the normalized building index (NDBI) of underlying surfaces, calculated from remote sensing images in the Pearl River Delta from 1990 to 2020, this study determines the underlying surface changes in the Pearl River Delta. Based on the hourly rainfall data of meteorological stations in the Pearl River Delta region from 1990 to 2020, the extreme rainfall indexes are calculated to analyze the changes in extreme rainfall in the Pearl River Delta. Based on the NDBI of underlying surfaces and extreme rainfall calculated in the Pearl River Delta, the evolution of underlying surfaces and extreme rainfall is analyzed, as is the correlation between them, and the main conclusions are as follows: (1) From 1990 to 2020, the NDBI in highly urbanized areas in the Pearl River Delta was higher than that in non-highly urbanized areas. The NDBI in highly urbanized areas showed an increasing trend, and the growth rate tended to slow down; (2) From 1990 to 2020, extreme rainfall in highly urbanized areas of the Pearl River Delta was higher than in non-highly urbanized areas. Extreme rainfall in both highly urbanized areas and non-highly urbanized areas showed an increasing trend, with that in highly urbanized areas increasing faster; (3) The positive correlation between the NDBI and extreme rainfall indicators in highly urbanized areas is more significant than that in non-highly urbanized areas.
