Abstract:Coastal nuclear power plants discharge large amounts of warm cooling water, which may have environmental impacts. This study proposes a method for determining the long-term impact area based on the average distribution of sea surface temperate (SST) increases. Taking the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant as a case study, 101 TM/ETM+ images acquired from 2000 to 2013 were used to obtain SST products. Cross-validation with NR_2P products showed that the accuracy of the SST products, in terms of the systematic error, … Show more
