This paper aims to highlight and monitor the spatial distribution of Surface UHI (SUHI) in the Casablanca region, Morocco, using remote sensing data. To achieve this goal, a time series of Landsat TM\/ETM+\/OLI-TIRS images was acquired from 1984 to 2016 and analyzed. In addition, nocturnal MODIS images acquired from 2005 to 2015 were used to evaluate the nighttime SUHI. In order to better analyze intense heat produced by urban core, SUHI intensity (SUHII) was computed by quantifying the difference of land surface temperature (LST) between urban and rural areas. The urban core SUHII appears more significant in winter seasons than during summer, while the pattern of SUHII becomes moderate during intermediate seasons. During winter, the average daytime SUHII gradually increased in the residential area of Casablanca and in some small peri-urban cities by more than 1 \u00b0C from 1984 to 2015. The industrial areas of the Casablanca region were affected by a significant rise in SUHII exceeding 15 \u00b0C in certain industrial localities. In contrast, daytime SUHII shows a reciprocal effect during summer with emergence of a heat island in rural areas and development of cool islands in urban and peri-urban areas. During nighttime, the SUHII remains positive in urban areas year-round with higher values in winter as compared to summer. The results point out that the seasonal cycle of daytime SUHII as observed in the Casablanca region is different from other mid-latitude cities, where the highest values are often observed in summer during the day.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs8100829","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,10]],"date-time":"2016-10-10T10:35:19Z","timestamp":1476095719000},"page":"829","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["Effects of Urbanization and Seasonal Cycle on the Surface Urban Heat Island Patterns in the Coastal Growing Cities: A Case Study of Casablanca, Morocco"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Hicham","family":"Bahi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sciences Ain Chock, University Hassan II, Casablanca 20100, Morocco"}]},{"given":"Hassan","family":"Rhinane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sciences Ain Chock, University Hassan II, Casablanca 20100, Morocco"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Bensalmia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sciences Ain Chock, University Hassan II, Casablanca 20100, Morocco"}]},{"given":"Ute","family":"Fehrenbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Ecology, Technische Universit\u00e4t, Berlin 10623, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3670-0864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dieter","family":"Scherer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Ecology, Technische Universit\u00e4t, Berlin 10623, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"United Nations Population Division\u2014Department of Economic and Social Affairs.
