Résumé :	"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, root-mean-square error, and mean absolute error of 1,000 randomly selected verification points, was all <0.3°C, while Willmott’s index of agreement values was all >0.7. An annual SST cycle harmonic model was established."
