ABSTRACT: Numerical simulations of thermal field variation due to land use changes, such as the reduction of the lacustrine system and the growth of the urban area, in the Basin of Mexico are presented. It is shown that the historically recorded warming in the basin could be attributed, not only to the growth of the urban area, but more importantly to the drastic reduction in the lacustrine system that existed in the basin.
