Local climate zone ventilation and urban land surface temperatures: Towards a performance-based and wind-sensitive planning proposal in megacities

Sustainable cities and society, 2019
Performance-based planning (PBP) is designed to determine city planning standards based on local activity characteristics; however, there have been few practical applications of this method.

Inter-local climate zone differentiation of land surface temperatures for Management of Urban Heat in Nairobi City, Kenya

, 2020
Rapid Urbanisation often leads to the formation of Urban Heat Island (UHI), which is believed to link to the characteristics of a city. Proper management of UHI, would, therefore, require recognition of the possible range of heat load increase.

Outdoor thermal comfort in different urban settings of sub-tropical high-density cities: An approach of adopting local climate zone (LCZ) classification

Building and Environment, 2019
Outdoor thermal comfort is determined by urban morphology and the geometry of outdoor urban spaces. The local climate zone (LCZ) classification system aims to characterise the urban and rural land cover based on various urban morphological parameters. It

Detecting multi-temporal land cover change and land surface temperature in Pearl River Delta by adopting local climate zone

Urban Climate, 2019
This study examines the spatial-temporal changes of land cover and the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region from 2000 to 2015.

Climate of the Critical Zone

2015
Abstract Climate variability, both in space and in time, has a significant impact on nearly every aspect of the Critical Zone. The primary focus of this chapter is on soil moisture because it is an important component of the water balance in the Critical Zone and it is a key parameter that influences land–atmosphere interactions in the climate system

Quantitative evaluation of the thermal and energy performance of the PCM integrated building in the subtropical climate zone for current and future climate scenario

, 2020
The effect of PCM on the thermal and energy performance of the building located in six cities of the subtropical climate zone under the present climate conditions was evaluated.

Climate-zone-dependent effect mechanism of humic acid and fulvic acid extracted from river sediments on aggregation behavior of graphene oxide.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Climate factors could affect the physicochemical properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in river sediments, which potentially influence the stability of nanoparticles in natural waters.

Climate's conflict zone

New Scientist, 2015
Pearce talks about the link between climate and conflict. The idea that the Syrian conflict is a climate war has been around since 2012. The researchers argued that a thought between 2006 and 2009 in north-eastern Syria, the country's breadbasket, was the worst recorded in the region and had been made more likely by long-term, probably human-induced ...

Climate Zones of China

1988
Note: The climate zones respectively climate types, according to the climate regionalization scheme of Huang Bing-wei (1986), were described with particular reference to the major climate characteristics and their variation over space and time. Each climate zone also contains a climate map of China, showing distinctly the spatial distribution of the ...

Understanding the seasonal variations of land surface temperature in Nanjing urban area based on local climate zone

, 2020
This study investigates the thermal behavior of local climate zones (LCZs) together with seasonal divergence. Firstly, LCZs were distinguished by combining satellite imagery and LiDAR data.
