Effects on Local Temperature and Energy of Oasis City Expansion in Arid Area of Northwest China

Table 1

Simulation scenarios.

	ISA	Oasis	Desert
CDISA	True	True	True
CDC	No	Original oasis+ISA area	True
CDD	No	True	Original desert+ISA area
D	No	No	Original desert+ISA+oasis
CDISA-CDC	The effect on local climate of ISA expansion when the ISA area was converted from oasis
CDISA-CDD	The effect on local climate of ISA expansion when the ISA area was converted from desert
CDISA-D	The effect on local climate when both oasis and ISA developed (true regional development)
CDC-D	The effect on local climate when oasis only developed
